No place in charity groups

I find it offensive that Community Chest has come out publicly (Peninsula News, May 29) endorsing the actions of their employee, Chris Holstein, a Liberal candidate in the upcoming 2007 State Election.

I find it incredible that an apolitical organisation can take this position and yet still expect the community to contribute monies to the organisation.

Did it ever occur to them that not everyone is a Liberal supporter?

I don't have any doubt that Cr Holstein should resign his paid position with the Community Chest lest he continues to do further damage to this community organisation.

Mr Holstein owns a mystic shop in Woy Woy that should take the financial responsibility for his political campaign.

Charity groups shouldn't be doing it for him.

Politicking has no place in charity groups and Cr Holstein should have enough brains and integrity to know this.
