Letter to the Editor: Don’t blame the local members

DEAR News Of The Area,

THANK YOU for your great newspaper keeping the residents informed.

I was reading the Letters to the Editor section on 29 August and I would like to correct a comment made by Harry Creamer.

He wrote blaming the elected representatives, stating that they are in Government.

A correction for Mr Creamer, those elected representatives are not the Government, whether State or Federal.

We now have Labor Governments in charge at the State and Federal level.

The current elected representatives have been fighting hard to get funding returned to fix Wrights Road’s problems.

Perhaps Mr Creamer, himself, backed the wrong horse!

Thank you,
Marie HEATH,
Port Macquarie.
