00:00Angus Greg and Phil Waddington are regulars at the West Launceston Bowls Club.
00:10They use bowler's arms, aware that they need to look after their bodies.
00:15And healthcare is top of mind for them at this election.
00:19One of my concerns is the waste of money on this stadium in Hobart, when all that money
00:24could be put into the hospitals because there's a long waiting time for hip replacements and
00:29things like that.
00:31As far as the Tasmanian hospital system goes, for me, I think it's absolutely wonderful.
00:40But Phil has private medical cover.
00:42A lot of people don't and then it's not as easy.
00:45Yes, I do have private medical cover and that probably makes a difference.
00:52Mr Waddington plans to vote for the sitting MP in Bass, Liberal Bridget Archer, who's being
00:57challenged by Labor candidate Jess Teasdale.
01:02Bridget was a politician that's true to what her beliefs.
01:11The Bowls Club wants politicians to commit funding for a synthetic green, which would be
01:15easier to play on and maintain.
01:18It's not just the exercise, you've got the social side, which is important when you're
01:23retired and you've got nothing else.
01:27A few suburbs over in Norwood, a group of women have gathered to pack birthing kits to
01:31send to women in developing countries.
01:34They're politically engaged members of the Zonta Club and Soroptimists, international volunteer
01:40organisations that advocate for women's rights.
01:42My biggest concern is climate.
01:46I have two grandchildren and I wonder what sort of a world they're going to inherit.
01:53In their own lives, they're witnessing the financial struggles many Australians are experiencing.
01:59We should not have homeless people.
02:01We shouldn't have kids who can't go to school because they can't eat properly.
02:05We shouldn't have parents who I deal with who go in and shop this food to eat and to sell
02:11it on because they don't have any money.
02:14They want to see kids taught about healthy relationships in school.
02:17When we look at family violence, the thing is, if we want better men, we've got to raise
02:22better boys.
02:23We do.
02:24Packing a lot of priorities into one Tasmanian electorate.
02:27Packing a lot of priorities, we've got to go to school.
