Oval article was about political point-scoring

In reference to the article "Woy Woy oval officially opened (PN Edition 389), was it merely an opening or a political rally?

The official opening of the Woy Woy stadium was noted for its political campaigning by all those involved.

The item is more about personal adulation and political point scoring than community news.

On March 19, a supporter of Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks, was handing out flyers proclaiming that the redevelopment had been completed.

The following week, landscaping and other work was still in progress.

Does Lucy Wicks know that "completed" and "official opening" are not the same?

Curious about the first fixture for the new stadium, I asked Ms Wick's supporter for details.

That information was unavailable.

The entire article in the Peninsula News was about political point scoring and provided no details of interest to the community.

None of these public representatives have been interested enough to supply details of events scheduled for the stadium.

The item definitely does not comply with the standards of the Peninsula News.

Community representatives will no doubt be responsible for supplying fixture details in the future.

The chasm between the community and politicians is obvious.
