Why the mystery?

Why the mystery about a matter clearly of public interest - the error leading to Cr Freewater's Central Coast Alliance ticket failing to successfully nominate for council elections (Peninsula News, August 20)?

I think that for future reference, voters on the Central Coast should know which unnamed candidate it was who failed to nominate in time for the Central Coast Alliance ticket's candidacy at the September 8 elections.

The failed ticket has narrowed the choice for voters on September 8 and raises basic questions of that person's competency as a possible future candidate for the Central Coast at an election for any of the three levels of Australian government.

Both Cr Freewater (for the Greens) and Mr Jake Cassar (independent) were candidates in the 2011 State elections.

I also think that it is completely disingenuous of Cr Freewater, having left the Greens, to now endorse their first two candidates for the upcoming council elections.

I don't think that, after his disaster, they'd appreciate his condescending secondhand endorsement.
