Dr McGirr said “There are vital time framing and policy issues that many in the electorate cannot understand and I wish to question Daryl, as the incumbent member on many of these and other issues”.
Dr McGirr said that the public debate will not be solely about the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital but on all issues raising concern throughout the electorate.
“Over the last five months I have travelled the electorate extensively and many issues raised to me are problems that are yet to be solved after eleven years of vacillating by the local member”. said Dr McGirr. “And, I am prepared to place myself into a public debating arena in front of all political persuasions, and go openly head to head on each issue that raises concern from the smaller centres of Batlow to the City of Wagga Wagga”.
The format that Dr McGirr is suggesting is 15 minutes for each candidate to put forward their attitudes on existing issues and respective visions into the future, followed by a public question time.
Dr McGirr said ‘To make it easier for a positive response from Daryl I have, in a letter to his office this morning, put to him the names of two highly respected community leaders who are prepared to arbitrate the debate and subsequent public questioning of both of us.
Dr McGirr said “This debate I believe will give the public a final opportunity to see both of us as we the major combatants put our respective views forward”
Dr McGirr said it’s now up to Daryl Maguire to come forward and place himself with me on local public record and stop hiding behind state-wide policy initiatives created by the party.
Dr McGirr said “As soon as Daryl agrees - we will locate a venue and we’ll bring it on.”
Dr McGirr said “I want to challenge Daryl’s commitment to the 47,802 electors in this area and not be such a yes man to Barry O’Farrell and the party. We’ve had enough of his lack of commitment in not to attacking the Keneally government over issues pertaining to this electorate – we want no more of that”.
