Liberal confusion

Member for Terrigal Chris Hartcher was stepping on the toes of local Member Marie Andrews by involving himself in the Ettalong Beach channel dredging debacle and taking responsibility of a 4000-signature petition to support the dredging.

His own Liberal councillors voted against accepting the State Government's funding of $250,000 to dredge the channel despite council's senior staff recommending it.

Cr Holstein went so far as to use the mayor's casting vote to delay the dredging once again.

Is this what we're going to have to put up with for the next four years?

Because of a lack of action we've seen disasters such as the collapse of the Pacific Hwy at Somersby with a whole family wiped out and the collapse of Woy Woy Rd.

And, here we go again.

The warning signs are there, so let's hope this councillor and his Liberal Party cohorts stop ignoring what the community wants.
