In what may be his one and only letter in recent years, retired local businessman Cecil Denis White regurgitates the Liberal-Nationals party line with gusto in The Daily Examiner on 16 January 2014.
The other side of the political coin was represented by another Northern Rivers resident, history buff John Drydale, who registered his disgust in the same newspaper five days later on 21 January.
Abbott on the
nose
OVER the past several months I have
sat down to write letters about the current Federal Government's latest
atrocity: on refugees, the unemployed, the ADF, Medicare, the universities,
education.
Each time my concerns have been
overtaken by yet another Federal Government stuff-up.
In the cabinet reshuffle at Christmas,
Tony Abbott, the country's worst prime minister since Billy McMahon, could have
done the right thing and fallen on his sword. Alas, for the LNP and the nation
he did not.
He continues to blunder along,
promising more money for the unwinnable war in Iraq while denying the ADF a
sensible pay rise; supporting the "latest" changes to Medicare the
day before his recently promoted minister scraps them while local National
Party members, who obviously have not been told anything, try to defend the
indefensible.
They just do not understand the people
they claim to represent.
The Gillard Government was a model of
order and purpose compared with this rabble.
