Residents question Latham

Peninsula residents were among those who were able to address Opposition Leader Mr Mark Latham during his recent visit to the Central Coast on Tuesday, February 4.

Woy Woy Aged Care general manager Ms Jennifer Eddy attended Mr Latham's Central Coast Leagues Club speech.

She asked what he would do for aged care, considering the difficulties she faced in the profession.

Mr Latham thanked Ms Eddy for her work in the industry.

"Resolving the aged care crisis is a very important thing to do," he said.

An Ettalong resident, who identified himself as Brett, asked Mr Latham about his policy concerning support for Pine Gap.

Mr Latham responded saying that it would remain a "joint facility".

During his speech, Mr Latham mentioned issues such as the Central Coast's regional status, infrastructure, health, education, affordable housing, competition policy and national security.

The morning concluded with an informal morning tea.
