‘The Decision Is Yours’I was always taught to believe that our elected representatives (politicians), were there to act in our best interests and to fairly represent the people of the electorate. Sadly this now seems to be just a memory. By Clint Eastwood - 30th October 2006 - Back to News The electorate of Gippsland East deserves to be treated with respect, recognition, equality and fairness.
Gippsland East absolutely does NOT deserve political point-scoring, expensive spin or bureaucratic bulls**t!
We do NOT deserve declining health services, deteriorating roads, crumbling infrastructure, struggling communities, slowing economy, farmers in despair (and it’s not just the drought!); The list is endless…
All we seem to get lately is glossy brochures, smarmy media promotion and self-congratulatory claptrap.
Welcome to Victoria. (The nanny state, and the land of ‘farce-rail’) The place to be? I’m not so sure now…
It doesn’t matter who sits in Spring Street; pull your head out and go and see for yourself, what it’s really like out past the tram tracks. East Gippslanders are questioning why they are being treated like ‘poor country cousins’.
Whether we are talking local, state or federal, the days of your ‘local member’ doing their elected duty and looking after ‘their local patch’ are seemingly gone, or are they? Things CAN change…
On Election Day, the decision is yours. Do you want to continue being ignored? Or do you want a fresh start?
You CAN make a difference. You CAN decide our future. Make your decision ‘A Vote For Change’.
