Buoyed by the 16,000 signature petition presented to the Kenneally caretaker government last Friday Dr Joe McGirr declared in Wagga Wagga today that being elected to the Seat of Wagga Wagga next Saturday he would instantly become the incoming Government’s..................................biggest nightmare.
Dr McGirr has sent a clear message that as a member of the legislative assembly, on behalf of the people of the Electorate of Wagga Wagga, he will no longer tolerate this part of the state being treated as an insignificant political wilderness.
Dr McGirr said "The time had now been reached for the removal of the shackles of state-wide metropolitan conformity, local representative inaction, and, lack of consideration for what the people of the electorate of Wagga Wagga really want".
Dr McGirr said there had been nothing creditable achieved for the people of this area through the local members chair in the last 11 years that hadn't already been achieved by energetic lobbying by interest groups close to the issue needing rectification.
"The Wagga Wagga Police Station is a prime example" said Dr McGirr. "Recently built is was completed as a result of intense lobbying by the NSW Police Association, and not from the local members chair"
"People power matters" said Dr McGirr "and this has been eminently reflected in the 16,000 signature petition created by the community".
Dr McGirr said "No-one drives forward while looking in the rear view mirror thinking how good they are"
"I will not rest until this electorate gets the attention it deserves - and I would be honoured to kick start the process starting next Sunday."
