I and quite a few other readers of the ‘Burdekin Life’ newspaper are readily counting the “to do” list that Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox and his State counterpart for Burdekin State Opposition Minister Dale Last are adding to with every weekly newspaper.
Each major political party, when in Government, has the opportunity to implement their plans for Australians that they had proposed to implement when elected, while those in opposition and the minor parties are able to argue that their own plans are better but are not considered.
Queensland state polling suggests in the up-coming State election that the Labor State Government may lose its position in Government. Then and only then will both Dale, and in some cases Andrew, have the opportunity to right the suggested wrongs of the ALP. However, even in Government, there is no guarantee that Andrew and Dale’s list of wrongs will be corrected. Readers will have to wait and see!
The LNP’s heart isn’t always as big as the ALP’s.
Hopefully Australians will be the ultimate winners.
Yours faithfully,
T. P. Chandler
A Response From Member For Burdekin, Dale Last
Mr Chandler’s claims that the current government has a big heart simply must be questioned.
I doubt big-hearted is how you’d describe a government that stands by while we have residents living in their car or in a shed with their young family and yet more struggling to pay their power bill.
But, thanks to the government that Mr Chandler describes as having a bigger heart, more heartache is to come.
Along with their mates from the Greens and the KAP, it is this government that lets drug dealers walk away basically scot-free not once or twice, but 3 times before being sent to a diversion service.
Like Mr Chandler, my hope is for a better community. If achieving that by speaking up for the people of the Burdekin means the size of my heart is questioned, then so be it.
Yours sincerely,
Dale Last MP, Member for Burdekin
Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox was also offered the opportunity to respond and politely declined.
