WE CAN’T AFFORD TO HAVE OUR WISHES IGNORED
Dear Editor,
I write in response to the letter ‘Independent voice matters’ published in the media recently.
The author has posted that Suzanna Sheed the current member for Shepparton “listens to all people’s problems.”
It seems the only person she’s listening to is Daniel Andrews.
If the member listened so well, why did she choose to ignore her constituent’s wishes and to vote with her Labor mates on so many important issues?
She ignores our wishes when she voted with Labor to destroy the CFA.
She ignored our wishes when she voted with Labor to destroy family owned taxi businesses.
Suzanna also voted with her Labor mates to enact the union driven labour hire laws that hurt our farmers so much.
Given that Suzanna has a history in doing the opposite of what our community wants it’s no surprise she’s doing it now.
Remember when she wanted to send our water away with the failed North South Pipeline? This failed scheme cost us $750,000,000.
We can’t afford to have our wishes ignored any longer.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Reid

NO CONFIDENCE IN OUR BUREAUCRATS
Dear Editor,
In response to the letter in last week’s The Adviser (Verney Road Mystery – Tyler Tricarico).
I drive a taxi and for months after the so called Verney Road roadworks were supposedly complete, or is it.
Just like Tyler stressed, why is the road deteriorating near Birch Street (with no hint of repair) and why is there bollards as you turn into Graham Street?
Also Maude Street was closed for a month between Kmart and JB Hifi and nothing looks like it was done.
VicRoads and Greater Shepparton City Council seem to start projects and move on before there are properly complete.
Will we in months to come, be saying the same at the next overnight brain explosion idea, the causeway traffic lights.
The most recent disastrous idea to hit our community, has become a pain in the you know what, for travellers driving past Tatura to Stanhope.
While they fixed the road (which was needed badly), they then decided that we all were falling asleep and crossing over the wrong side of the road and caged us in from crossing any lines.
So what happens when you are stuck behind a tractor, learner driver, or slow vehicle? We can’t overtake (thanks to some suit and tie sitting on a desk). While those rope wire things may be useful in dual carriageways they are not on single lanes (it’s stupidity).
People will be tempted to overtake on the left hand side after 30km of following slow vehicles. Remember they only put one overtaking lane in and that’s before Tatura.
No confidence in our bureaucrats.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Szmola
Shepparton
