Lacking a game plan

-

REPLY to Aaron Harper 07/02/2020 T/B “The game is up Phil”. I am no fan of the Liberal party, but Aaron’s ‘please re-elect me’ letter is so shallow that an ant would not drown.

In his ‘look at what I have done’, part of his letter Aaron quotes not one single project that generates funding to help pay for his rant. Everything you scream about is taxpayer funded, so what is your record of projects that will generate income for the Government?

Well your party is against live export, (killing thousands of taxpayer jobs there), your party supports the Greens with no dams, (all need to import water there), your party does not support mining, (gone are hundreds of thousands of jobs there), your party does not support farmers, (killing them with green and red tape, so food imported there).

Just what real taxpaying jobs does your Left Green coalition support? Tourism, well you have to have small business to do that.

What about the sharks to eat the tourists and kill our parks with disease-carrying bats?

These massive housing developmen­ts in our pristine farming lands are pumping millions of tons of lawn fertiliser, and weed killer in our waterways that follows directly on the reef, yet you want to kill the few farms left that generate some income with your policies. Now we even may not be able to wear sunscreen if the latest Green fantasy is enacted.

Your game is up Aaron and your economy killing policies that will drive our future into dependence on welfare.

When the immigrants after World War II came to our country, they had one thought in mind, get a job and build a future. Now we have someone to show them Centrelink.

Our national assets are being sold off, even our hospitals now are being bought by the Chinese.

How can a country continue, when the cupboard is getting bare, but the demand from that cupboard is getting higher?

Your letter only confirms that the Labor Party has no idea on how to create incentive for private enterprise, that is the only way money is generated. With a declining agricultur­e/farming and small business enterprise, demand for health education and roads and the stupid cost of renewables, your ‘ game is up Phil’, is more like ‘ hold on our game is up Queensland­ers.’

You voted to stop graziers cutting mulga, a renewable natural resource that has been used for over 100 years, and it just comes back stronger. Those graziers supplied cattle for export and local jobs.

Dairy farms gone by 2028. Aaron, I wonder if you, not your speech writer, can actually sit down and write a letter of encouragem­ent for all the long-term tradies, all the farmers, the truckies, coffee barista’s, the fishermen and miners that you are working to secure their jobs, so you can be paid for yours?
