Dr Joe McGirr asks Where's Daryl?

NSW Leading Independent Candidate, Dr Joe McGirr, today asked whether there was any hope of getting a complete new Wagga Wagga Base Hospital if the local sitting member was re-elected as a backbencher in a Coalition government with a landslide majority. 

The weekend Sydney Morning Herald reported on the likely makeup of the Coalition cabinet after they win power in a landslide at the March 26 NSW State Election (February 19-20, 2011).
The article listed the 22 members of the current shadow cabinet. O’Farrell has said that his these will hold their portfolios should the Coalition win government.
The article also listed six candidates “to watch” and 3 “names to know outside shadow cabinet”.
“Daryl Maguire was not mentioned in relation to the cabinet,” Dr McGirr said. “It seems he is not “in the mix” for a cabinet position, unlike the members in neighbouring seats. Is it a question of performance?”
“Where does that leave the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital project and the electors of the state seat of Wagga Wagga?”, Dr McGirr went on to say.
“At the bottom of the queue, once again.”
“A new government will be looking after its marginal and newly won seats not safe seats like Wagga Wagga. The people of the state seat of Wagga Wagga will not have a seat at the government table. We are not on the radar.”
“Its little wonder that the Coalition are trying to fob us off with “commitments to a new hospital” – with no timelines or definite funding – its promises, promises, promises……..”
