DEAR News Of The Area,
TODAY I received in my letterbox a card in Caz Heise colours that was really a National Party ad.
This was after receiving unsolicited NP texts to my private mobile number asking for my vote and for donations.
I spoke to Mr Conaghan about this at the Jetty Markets.
He told me it was wrong for the National Party to send the texts but he couldn’t do anything about it as it came from head office!
That’s what can happen if you are controlled by the party machine.
Why does a supposedly upright organisation need to be so sneaky?
Why at the council elections couldn’t they label their candidate as National Party?
The obvious answer is they feared that the majority of the electorate (it turned out 70 percent) didn’t want their foreshore project and wouldn’t vote for them.
More sneakiness!
I haven’t heard of Pat Conaghan supporting his constituents by opposing the foreshores project.
Have you?
The National Party ad says ‘think local vote national’.
Is it thinking local to ignore the wishes of a big majority of locals?
The National Party has held our electorate for too long and treats us like fools.
A change is needed!
Regards,
Doug POWELL,
Coffs Harbour.
