An outbreak of myopia

I won't be voting for Liberal or Labor at the next election.

Both parties appear to suffer from an outbreak of myopia which seems to be reaching plague proportions in political circles on the Central Coast.

Both Liberal and Labor councillors on Gosford Council see ticks in boxes when people with normal vision see crosses.

At council level their hearing is also impaired.

Their idea of community consultation involves two stages.

Stage one is consultation.

Stage two is not hearing the response.

Did they invent a political process called Passive Consultation?

Supporters of both Deb O'Neill and Lucy Wicks are vision impaired.

They can't see signs on letterboxes stating "No Junk Mail".

Surely they don't believe that the rubbish they distribute is superior to junk mail?

Do I need another sign stating "No Political Literature"?

In February I received a letter from Lucy Wicks inviting me to a Seniors Forum.

The forum will take place on either November 12, 2012, or February 21, 2013, depending upon which part of the letter you are looking at.

I'm sure that Lucy would have picked up this typo if not for her myopic disability.

I don't believe her care and attention to detail is impaired, she is cursed by this local outbreak of myopia.

Deb O'Neil (Labor) did not represent me when she danced around the chamber, like a three year old on Christmas morning, to celebrate the introduction of a carbon tax.

I thought she campaigned under the No Carbon Tax banner.

Jim Lloyd (Liberal) did not consult with or represent the working class families of Robertson when he blindly supported his party leader during the Work Choices debate.

In my opinion he was not re-elected because, like Deb O'Neill, he stopped representing the people of Robertson.

I won't be voting Liberal or Labor.

They will both cease representing their constituents about 30 seconds after they take their oath of office.

Does the House of Representatives need a new name or does it need new residents who will actually represent their constituents?
