Dredging hype is election ruse

All this hype about the Palm Beach Ferry ceasing their operation is nothing more than a smoke screen for Peter Hale's election campaign for Gosford Council.

All very well to put the boot into the local member Marie Andrews but what has he done on council for the past four years when it is council's responsibility to dredge the channel?

Absolutely nothing.

All you need to do is rev up the businesses and the media with threats of ferry service closure and Bob's your uncle, Peter Hale comes to the rescue just in the nick of time, as the chairman of Central Coast Tourism.

Mr Hale failed the Ettalong Memorial Club and now he wants us to elect him to Gosford Council ... not for me thanks.
