Hmmm What's that smell??

I smell an election, a State election which, undoubtedly, some feel will be decided on how often your name is in print and what meetings you will attend. We have the inevitable Liberal last minute show up who no one has heard of, despite the Liberal President and ONE local GP crying the candidates accolades about being on a schoolboard, opening a Diabetes Foundation facility and other such irrelevant and un noteworthy humdrum. Yet no one else claims to know of or supported the platform.

Being on the board of a PRIVATE, INDEPENDENT, EXCLUSIVE school hardly validates your role as advocate to the constituency of public and semi private, religious schools in the area, does it now?? Being dressed the nines for a possible photo op and cutting the ribbon to open a facility is hardly supporting the cause nor working for it, is it now? What have you DONE for us? Answer, nothing!!!

Jumping on the bandwagon of political opportunity in a vain self motivated attempt for personal gain, I have yet to hear about " the community's wishes" or " what you want" its all party motivated with the Liberal party taking first, second and third on the list of wants, wishes and needs.

Then we have the local "coulda been" champion of the children fighting his fictional bogeymen of society via media hype and mob hysteria. Don't forget to call up the media before the rally at some unsuspecting persons home in a effort to garner some exposure before the election. Must be due for another game of spot the Claytons pedophile soon...The pedophile you have when there is no pedophile. Seems that they have the issues of the individual confused with the issues of the electorate, your issues are yours: take ownership of them but do not attempt to force your poisoned ideals upon the rest of the community using the soapbox of public office to do so. The amount of information this individual spouts to have access to about alleged offenders whereabouts gives serious issue to:
1. The persons honesty and integrity if they do not have the information
2. The persons ethics and integrity for annoucing that they have such classified information
3. The persons ability to be trusted in a position of public representation if they announce private information so publicly.

Time will tell and like all bad smells, the stench will fade and fresh air will prevail again.
