Letter: Barnaby, it’s time to go.

Article: Barnaby, it’s time to go

I refer to the above article by R K Crosby.

I support the finding ”Almost 60% said they do not want Joyce to change his mind and run again” which is hardly an endorsement of twelve (12) years of political inactivity on behalf of the voters.

During this period the New England electorate has stagnated economically and socially due mainly to the inactivity of the ”representative of the voters (?)”.  In 2013 his predecessor Tony Windsor INDEPENDENT achieved feral funding for upgrading the killer Bolivia Hill and the Scone By-Pass, now two completed projects benefiting both locals and through travellers.  

The then aspiring candidate was reported as ”laughing” when the then COALition Opposition Leader struck out the achieved funding for the Tenterfield CBD By-Pass, an accident waiting to happen at any one of the three pedestrian crossings of the New England Highway.  Perhaps this was personal payback for Windsor supporting LABOR after the 2007 tied election?

Nothing achieved in twelve (12) years is hardly effective representation of ”the best interests of the voters”.  Still, the installation of a Telstra mobile telephone communications tower on a property owned by a billionaire ”fan” does come with an annual rental income.

Perhaps the announcement of his retirement at the next feral election has more to do with the changes in the NOtional$ New England Electoral Council, with the (shock!! horror!!) election of a ”woman” to the important position of Chairperson of the Tamworth Branch.   Is this an indication that the ladies of Tamworth are over the atrocious misogynist male behaviour of the ”boys know best” club??

What do NOtional$ do??
