Well Tony that was quite a vitriolic spray, (Letters, 7 February) you certainly don’t miss an opportunity to slag off at the Labor Party, or in fact have a good old whinge about everything, is there anything you don’t whinge about?
You were taken to task because of your ill-conceived, derogatory comments regarding Richmond MP Justine Elliott’s handling of the Feros Care facility issue. It seems you have very little background knowledge of what was required to bring about an acceptable resolution to the problem and you were either oblivious to the comments I wrote praising everyone who worked hard to achieve that great outcome, or ignorantly just chose to ignore them.
Without Labor’s Justine Elliott’s, Steve Kamper’s, and Rose Jackson’s direct intervention another provider may have never have been found in time and people like you would have had even more to whinge about.
You are right about one thing, yes Labor was elected with a low primary vote, but with a massive flow of preferences, to deliver a devastating defeat to the Lib/Nat Coalition. Australia now has a government actively committed to climate change policy and to the orderly transition to renewables, fairness back in the workforce with wages once again rising, cost of living relief for struggling families, actively addressing the housing crisis, containing inflation, paying down inherited Coalition debt and investing heavily in Australia’s defence force in an increasingly dangerous world.
Tony, about the only thing you’ve got going for you is not being a member of the Greens party.
