Further to T Sharples’ letter (Echo, May 1) Justine Elliot has never been a good representative for her electorate – she is obviously a person of steely ambition and as a result never disagrees with official Labor policies.
This is the person who told the residents of Feros Village that she was unable to help them.
She is also an ex-cop which engenders attitudes of moral self-righteousness and authoritarianism (just look at Peter Dutton).
When are federal Labor going to realise that if Tanya Plibersek doesn’t intervene in the Wallum dispute (and she has the power to do so) then Mandy Nolan is likely to be a shoe-in at the next election?
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
