National candidate for Richmond flirts with the electorate in The Northern Star yesterday.
"RICHMOND Nationals candidate Dr Sue Page says she would have voted against the Government on its original WorkChoices legislation had she been in Parliament at the time.
Speaking at a candidates' forum at Byron Bay on Friday, Dr Page said the original legislation disadvantaged the nation's most vulnerable workers.
She said she would have opposed it on the floor of Parliament."
Oh Sue, Sue. Didn't see you speaking out against this legislation at the time. Can't recall one mention in the media of your alleged opposition - not even a letter to the editor. Sure I never heard of you attending a local protest rally. Bet you never even wrote to the Nationals leader objecting to your party's enthusiastic support of WorkChoices.
This candidate is desperate to highlight the supposed differences between the Nationals and their coalition partner, the Liberal Party. Sue, we know the parties are different. The Libs are made up of wealthy investors, company directors, business owners, property speculators, doctors, lawyers and a smattering of average Australians.
The Nats are made up of wealthy investors, company directors, business owners, property speculators, doctors, lawyers, a smattering of average Australians and a dwindling few who genuinely farm.
