Let the games begin...
Dear Caroline,
Until I find out more about your background, qualifications, business acumen and experience that would make you a suitable for a federal parliament position, I will reserve my judgement as to whether I will vote for you.
Politics is the only profession I know where you can get a highly paid job without having to have any suitable qualifications or experience.
I wish you well with your campaign but unless you can raise tens of thousands of dollars to compete with the propaganda machine, I'll bet the encumbent will just 'slip' back in again.
Garry, Caloundra
Dear Garry,
Well, you're on to me.
I have absolutely no tertiary qualifications.I have never owned a business and I have never belonged to a political organisation.
My husband John has taken the leap into small business, so (trust me), I am feeling some of the pain.
I understand your frustration Garry.
Politicians cost a lot of money and not all of them are up to the task (and if John Howard doesn't call the election this week then all our MP'sand their numerous support staff will be traipsing backto Canberra next week - which will cost the poor old tax payer millions and millions more!)
But Garry, I want tell you what I do well.I am a journalist with 20 years experience.
I can grasp issues quicker than most people and am as tenacious as a bull terrier.I have been accessible to the people of Fisherfor more than 10 years and have acted as an advocate for hundreds in that time.
I am familiar with the intracacies of government lobbyingand when someone comes to me to get a job done, I have always been able to find them an answer, one way or the other,very quickly.
I am standing as an independent - so I won't be heading to Canberra to re-write the health budgetor sign the Kyoto Protocol - but I will be the first person in Canberrafor a long time, prepared to fight tooth and nail for Fisher.
We are going to need a lot more money in the coming term.
The coast is growing too fast and our infrastructure is just not keeping pace.
A lot of that has been blamed on the Beattie Government(and they are not blameless) - but we are copping an unfair population distribution, and absolutely no one isfighting to make the feds take notice.
Without MORE federal money, our infrastructure needs will increasingly become a burden to ratepayers -and that is simply not fair.
The 'sea change' population is both an opportunity anda burden - and the Federal Government must bepressured to share the load.
Finally, you are right, I don't have the funds the big boyshave and I might get a flogging - that's democracy.
But, if the people want change, then at least I've offered an alternative.

You've got my vote UNLESS John Howard
1. Says "sorry"
2. Gives us the truth on the AWB scandal
3. Comes clean on children overboard
4. Provides clearer strategy on withdrawl timetable on Iraq (he got us in it, he should get us out)
5. Admits that most of the economic goodtimes we've enjoyed during his time in government are simply the result of global goodtimes (ie economic growth in Asia, Europe and US)
5. Calls the election so taxpayers can be spared the xepense of a return to Canberra.
I know these requests have nothing to do with the seat of Fisher so should not influence my vote but if he were to grant my wishes I would vote for his man.
Can you inform me of the name of his man in Fisher?
Bob T of Caloundra
