Dignity and respect are needed

When the residents of the Robertson electorate voted for a change, I don't think they had in mind the sort of change we have seen from our new Federal Member Belinda Neal.

In just six months, she has stumbled from one political crisis to another.

Instead of allegedly threatening the staff of Iguana's with the loss of their jobs, or verbally attacking the heavily pregnant Member for Indi in the Federal Parliament, Belinda Neal should direct her efforts into attracting more urgently needed local jobs, assisting our long suffering road and rail commuters, or speaking out against our incompetent and dysfunctional State Labor Government.

I have always believed that to be elected to represent your community in the Australian Parliament is one of the greatest honours that can be given to anyone and this position needs to held with dignity and respect.

It is not a right but a privilege.

Belinda Neal needs to remember that this high office is a gift from the Central Coast people, a gift that could easily be taken away in just two and half years.

Belinda Neal and her husband John Della Bosca need to begin working for our community, not simply to further their own careers.
