The Nationals Luke Hartsuyker (incumbent in the marginal seat of Cowper on the NSW North Coast) has been relentless in his pursuit of column inches in the local print media as he prepares to defend his seat at this year's federal election.
Recently he turned his eye to schools with this press release on 11 July 2010; Government must address broken promises at North Coast schools and apologise to students, parents and teachers.
Which The Daily Examiner published almost verbatim as Schools left out of pocket with the unverifiable teaser: The Daily Examiner knows of one such case in the Clarence Valley but has withheld publishing at the request of teachers after an 11th hour reprieve from the Department of Education.
The Nambucca Heads school community reared up in the face of all this shameless politicking and bit back via The Coffs Coast Advocate in Nambucca school takes aim at MP on 13 July 2010:
The president of the Nambucca Heads Primary School's P & C has accused Cowper MP Luke Hartsuyker of using the issue to make 'sweeping statements with very obvious political bias in order to gain political gain'.......
"We the parents, staff and P & C body of Nambucca Heads Public School are extremely happy with the acquisition of a wonderful, sturdy and well built and well finished brand new school hall. We are very grateful to the Govt for making it possible for our school to own such a valuable asset.
"Prior to having a new hall our school community gathered for assemblies, performances and significant events in an undercover area with no walls. Special assemblies and occasions were regularly disrupted by inclement weather. To have a brand new hall, so beautifully built and finished off is an invaluable asset and one which has been out of our reach for many years, that is, until the Building the Education Revolution Project.".
