Tax office presence will create more jobs

Bruce Hyland in his letter (ATO office unfortunate for Wicks, PN 21 Dec 2015) plays with words.

The tax office jobs were always going to be existing tax office workers.

Their operations and presence will create a lot more local jobs.

A factor of 2.5 times is expected - accountants, lawyers and coffee deliverers.

The land was or is not public land.

It is land that belongs to the NSW Department of Education and they are entitled to maximise its value for the benefit of NSW taxpayers and parents of school-going kids.

How it got there was through a tender run by the ATO.

The bottom line that left-wing whiners cannot deal with is that Gosford CBD has been dead for many years and they do realise that a 600-person tax office will breath-in life and more but instead they claim a park would be better.

As for Senator O'Neill who jumps up for any populist issue, she was the Federal Member when the GFC billions were being tossed around.

How come she did not push through an application for federal money to buy a "park" from the NSW Department of Education?

That could have been one of her "real" deliveries.
