Letter to the Editor: No time for political pointscoring

DEAR News Of The Area,

AS a proud Australian I am appalled and embarrassed at the conduct of our so-called leaders.

After any horrific event in our country, the latest being the Bondi massacre, our politicians are only too quick to get on the air and practice political score carding by blaming their opponents. Do they really think that the people affected by these tragedies need this rhetoric or would they benefit more with genuine sympathy from all factions of government?

I’m sure that people in power at any time do their best to ensure our safety; unfortunately there will always be unforeseen evil lurking.

I’m sick of seeing dinosaur politicians being resurrected to save the government in term.

You have had your go and been ousted.

Lie down and rest, leave it up to the people in touch now.

Regards,
Ross FOGGON,
Lake Cathie.
