The automotive business operator said in a media release stopping coal seam gas exploration in the region was a key issue for him.
Mr Amor also said the two major parties had failed the region.
“Due to the failures of the two other parties doing very little, what I can see is McMillan and my state in disarray,” Mr Amor said.
“A new beginning must happen now to get industry, infrastructure, management, hop, jobs and guidance to the people through this economic hardship.
