THOROUGH THURSDAY
Posted by jeffreygabriel on November 23, 2007
It was a big day on the campaign trail. I dropped off 2000 leaflets around Grayndler and I only have 500 left. I’ll do those this morning.
I know people treat leaflets like junk but they are worth reading – no matter who the candidate. They give you more of an insight into what candidates stand for. Ads and posters cannot tell you enough.
I’ve spoken a lot about surveys this week. Yesterday, I found out we topped a survey on health. You can read about it here. The Australian Medical Association ranked the Australian Democrats as the best party when it comes to rural health policy. Probably not that relevant to the people of Grayndler but again it shows that we have quality policies out there. We are not single issue and we have more substance than the media savvy extremists. Parliament debates hundreds of issues. Vote for a party that offers responses to them all. A case in point – The Greens offer a mere 44 policies whereas the Australian Democrats have over 130.
These are important considerations to make as voters in Grayndler and beyond. We need to improve the quality of our elected representatives so that we get a better quality working for us.
I’m off now. There’s a lot of last minute stuff to do.
