POLITICS IS A TEAM SPORT

So, Roydon Jones thinks the answer to the last six years of National Party inertia in Nicholls is an Independent. Really?

Sure, the Nats have always disappointed but when Sharman Stone was Liberal in Murray (now Nicholls), she showed us what a smart, strong, ethical politician looked like. What she achieved was amazing: the duplication of the GV Highway, the best rural medical clinical school in the country training doctors and dentists right here, she saved SPC, and the list goes on and on.

Sharman would have been ignored as an Independent. Think of Helen Haines in Indi. She was going to get an anti-corruption commission. Really? Only if a party agrees. You do not send a single player out against a whole footy team. You choose the strongest, smartest person possible to play in the team to make sure you win.

Take a very close look at Liberal candidate Steve Brooks. He has what it takes, and he won’t be useless and ignored on the crossbenches.
