A New Dawn for Nicholls with Sam Birrell

Join our today’s episode with Sam Birrell, Australia’s National Party candidate for the seat of Nicholls. Sam was raised in an Australian countryside town between towns Murchison and Toolamba, on the banks of the Goulburn River, with his three sisters. His mother worked as a teacher at Shepparton High School, while his father was a lawyer.

In his words, Sam says, “I love this region, and am very proud to live, work and raise a family here. Many people would say that I never miss an opportunity to talk the place up. I want to be the MP for Nicholls because I want to see everyone here do well, with great educational and economic opportunities and pathways into the career of their choice. I want to ensure people are looked after by the government, especially those who are marginalised, while at the same time making certain that Australia continues to be one of the best-governed countries in the world. After all I have seen and learned, I am convinced that a locally engaged National Party member in a coalition government is the best way to achieve this.”

Powerful Quotes by Rachael Willis 

● The type of work I do needs to be energy-giving and vitality-giving. If it’s not, I need to say goodbye to that. Energy-giving is meaningful work. [...] If I feel like it will give me a sense of contentment and fulfillment, [...] then I would take it on. 

● Children—adolescents—are featuring more mental health-related issues because of this whole pandemic than we’ve ever seen before. 

● Lifestyle has an incredible impact on people’s mental health and wellbeing. If people were able to look at their habits of sleep and exercise routines, that says a lot. 

● Therapy is not easy work. It requires sitting with unpleasant feelings and talking about things that may be triggering. [...] The reality is, we’re not doing “friends therapy”. [...] We’re trying to give people an outcome. ● Finding a good therapist is like finding a good pair of jeans.
