, August 17). Suing their own machine for not doing what they should have done themselves anyway. Strewth, some are complaining of lost councillors’ fees. I want no councillor who is there for the fees – there are far too many career politicians already. The debacle is simply the latest example of the incompetence that blighted the NSW government.

I recall senators David Pocock and Jacqui Lambie claiming in the early stages that their work was hampered by exactly the issues Senator Payman asserts are impeding her work. Her concerns indicate her integrity and desire to treat the role with great diligence, in contrast with many past senators who have just blindly followed the party line unquestioningly. She does not deserve the unfair label pinned to her.

At the same time, if we in the Illawarra wish to travel south from Nowra, we must depend on a car, or a beleaguered bus service. No train, not even a humble single-track version to take us on our journey. Why is this so? Why are we less important? Politicians are evasive, uninterested. The possibilities of a useful and also a superb tourist opportunity to travel along our beautiful coastline as far as Eden is not even contemplated.
