Attack on Council was cynical

Labor Senator Deborah O’Neill (29 July 2015) attacked Gosford Council’s decision to give its CEO, Mr Paul Anderson the power to sell the Kibbleplex site.

Let’s hope Ms O’Neill and the Gosford Labor councillors have actually asked Mr Anderson why he decided it should be sold. If they did, why aren’t we being told why it was the wrong decision? It’s understandable Ms O’Neill is anxious to attack the Prime Minister on any pretext. But is that representing the local community’s best interests? Pleasing the party’s Canberra powerbrokers might of course help her career. After all, they gave her the Senate job, and they can no doubt help her future career prospects.
