I received the latest colour brochure from my member of parliament. It looks professional, full of staged photos with the Premier and locals, but it’s eight pages of ‘look-at-me, look-at-me’; ‘look what I’ve done for you’; ‘I’m fantastic!’
It even has a questionnaire on the back page with the opening statement: “Please let me know what’s important to you.”
What’s important to me? Well Mr Member of Parliament, why don’t you get off your seat of self-importance and actually knock on my door and ask me? From the time you campaigned to win your seat in parliament, I have never met you and to my knowledge you have never made any effort to meet me.
It’s easy to spend taxpayers’ money on a glossy brochure about stuff I already know about, but it’s a lot harder to actually get out there and earn your keep.
This politician is not worth the paper he’s printed on and I’ll be damned if I vote for him at the next election.
