Hartsuyker gets negative press in his own Cowper electorate

Apparently the Nats are really getting desperate over their lack of relevance and absence of policy impact.
Federal Member for Cowper Luke Hartsuyker literally resorted to megaphoning his message to the Rudd Government last Tuesday.
Which put a number of his constitients offside, as well as apparently offending the mayors of two local goverment areas who had undertaken coordinated lobbying on behalf of February-March 2009 flood victims in the Coffs and Belligen districts.
It seems that The Coffs Coast Advocate readers are swinging away from Hartsuyker as well.
When I last looked Luke was polling badly when it came down to this local issue.
