Issues topping the agenda are coal seam gas (CSG) and health, and yesterday the candidates were approached to remark on their final week.

Their comments are listed below, in order of their appearance on the ballot paper.

Greens candidate Stephen Ballantine began the campaign hoping to 'get the ball rolling' on raising the profile of the Greens in the region.

He said the lead up to tomorrow's count had been very encouraging, and he expected the region would experience some very interesting figures in the results.

"Many people are dissatisfied with the status quo, and it's been really interesting to see who is telling us what," he said.

Mr Ballantine had seen a lot of opposition to CSG and its perceived potential to pollute the Manning River, but he did not think people were aware of the impact of selling off poles and wires.

Independent Steve Attkins' spirits were high, as he commented on the mood for change that he saw permeating through the electorate. Quoting CSG, health and policing as the issues of the week, he said the community was well aware of the topics.

"They know the region hasn't been getting what it needs. Infrastructure for this electorate has not been mentioned anywhere in funding promises," he said.

Mr Attkins did not feel confident that the last minute pledge by sitting Myall Lakes member Stephen Bromhead to rebuild the police station would come through, as it did not commit to solid figures and outcomes.

Regardless of tomorrow's outcome, he remained optimistic for the region.

Country Labor's Dr David Keegan said it had been a frantic week following up on issues. He cited health as a primary area of concern, as well as issues surrounding CSG and supporting industrial development for the region.

"Politics is like a game of poker, in which a promise is made, and another says 'I see you and raise you one'. We need to make this a marginal seat, to see the region profit from a nice bidding war between parties," he said.

He said that in terms of funding the region was going backwards, quoting Labor's push to spend more in the bush, and less in Sydney, while delivering a bigger budget surplus than the coalition (as released by the independent Parliamentary Budget Office earlier this week).

Nationals candidate Stephen Bromhead said this week's issues had been the same as every other week, with health, Taree's police station, water security, and the 'one stop' shops leading the discussions.

"Everyone is very pleased to know that Stage 1 of the hospital upgrade has been guaranteed, and that the minister has said that Stages two and three will go ahead," he said.

He commented that the multimillion dollar upgrade to Taree's police station announcement had been well received, and that residents were relieved to have their water supply and sewerage security confirmed through an injection of funding.

Mr Bromhead said he was working hard, and feeling very positive about the campaign.
