A busy bee or ... ?
Lucy Wicks has been a busy bee over the past three months ... or so she wants us to think ("Wicks reiterates commitment to election promises", October ).
However, most of this activity seems to amount to no more than writing letters to various Ministers, repeating announcements made many months ago and posing Dorothy Dixers.
We have yet to see any concrete action, and the suspicion is that we might see another election before any projects come to fruition.
Let Ms Wicks pad out her Facebook and Twitter accounts as she wishes, but spare us full-page braggadocio in Peninsula News about actions that are not news and amount to little more than beating the air.
Similarly, if Deborah O'Neill can afford to fill the Peninsula News coffers with full-page advertisements, good luck to you, but carrying on about past election promises that are now of no consequence is a bore.
In fairness, you should allot her a free page as well and allow her to detail all the bureaucratic pettifoggery that she has been engaged in since Parliament reopened, although Ms Wicks at least has the justification that she is the local Member, whereas Ms O'Neill's purpose, as an NSW Senator, is somewhat difficult to discern.
Perhaps, she should address herself to the state-wide issues that she was supposedly elected to deal with.
