Roy Butler visits Narrabri region during first week as an independent

Member for Barwon Roy Butler recently announced his resignation from the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party following a fallout in relation to the behaviour of the party’s leader and ‘not enough balance’ on the SFF executive.

On Monday, Mr Butler said he would stand as an independent candidate at the state election next year.

The MP has been meeting with individuals and groups across the region this week, including local business owners Jake Packer and his partner Ellie May Hatton.

“Jake is the coach of Narrabri’s Central North Rugby Union premiership-winning Narrabri Rugby Blue Boars,” said Mr Butler.

“I was able to present him with a Community Recognition Statement on behalf of the team.

“Their convincing win, 25-8, against the Gunnedah Red Devils was a testament to their grit and determination to win.”
