Bad News From Our Local Member
It seems that the Member for Hervey Bay Andrew McNamara has been coming in for quite a bit of criticism lately and let’s face it, the Dingo Fence over on Fraser Island hasn’t done anything to increase his public profile in any positive way.
However, perhaps we knockers are being a litte unfair on our local member … sure he’s made at least one dumb decision but now he’s stepping up to the plate and facing a very difficult situation head on. While there are plenty of politicians who would like to hide their head in the sand and wish problems like these would just go away our Andrew is telling your straight … we’re looking at fuel rationing!
He’s being quite blunt about it too and he’s told the state Cabinet that fuel rationing really isn’t a case of if but when and when it comes we need to be prepared for it or we’re all going to be up the creek without a paddle.
It’s all very well to think that we’ll be able to rely on public transport … but that’s already stretched to the limit. And of course we can all buy electric cars … but what happens to the power grid when we all plug those cars into the system to recharge them?
It’s not going to be a popular story but someone has to tell it and it seems that someone is our local member. The Courier Mail is running the full story here.
