We need details of parties’ plans for future

Forum

I was reading my Coast Community News last week and came to Adam Crouch’s full page ad listing his achievements.

Pretty Beach Public School $40,00, Copacabana Public School $40,00 Erina Tennis Club $5,878 and what appears to be Fairhaven for an indecipherable amount.

Then I started thinking about the promises his boss (Premier Dominic Perrottet) is making for residents of Western Sydney.

Hundreds of millions for new/upgraded hospitals, millions for new/renovated schools, hundreds of millions for roadworks and upgrades and billions of dollars for new train lines.

While I am very happy for the lucky people out west I am just wondering why some of this largesse can’t be splashed about here on the Peninsula?

Then I received (Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch’s) flyer in my letterbox.

It sets out details of the $2.3M delivered to the local community since 2017.

That equates to about $500,000 a year.

That is very good and the recipients are very grateful, I am sure.

What I was really hoping for was details of her plans for the next four years.

Perhaps she could have a meeting with us (so we can) and let her know what we would like to see happen around here.

It is after all taxpayers’ money they are spending.
