Don't hold your breath

No one is holding their breath for the Liberal councillor Chris Holstein to support the dredging of the Brisbane Water channel despite the calls from all users of the channel for it to be dredged as a matter of urgency.

Mr Holstein has a history of 16 years in Gosford Council of opposing progress, albeit to get his face in the paper.

One only has to recall the Spurbest debacle led by him to halt progress in Gosford city, the Rapedo development and Star of the Sea to halt progress to Terrigal, the redevelopment of Narara Ag station or the Ettalong to Sydney fast ferry and the list goes on and on.

Anything that means progress in our city, you can be sure Cr Holstein will oppose it.

While the community screams for the dredging to be done, Mr Holstein and his Liberal cohorts will continue to play party politics and lose the State Government's $250,000 contribution towards the dredging.

We can be certain of that.
