Sue Walker's a local hero
|
|
|
Justice Minister Michelle Roberts' "threat" to Liberal Nedlands MP Sue Walker for the manner in which Ms Walker intervened in the reported "Alice" issue was surprising ("Roberts threat to Walker", POST 26/6). Given recent events, you would have thought Ms Roberts would reflect more on her own performance. And as for Ms Roberts' view that Ms Walker's intervention was to "make a hero of herself in the local newspaper", well, Michelle, Sue's been a local hero here in Shenton Park for a long time now, well at least for the past couple of years, ever since Subiaco council proposed to list thousands of heritage homes in its town planning scheme. Sue has been a local hero ever since she was the only politician from any party who spoke out against Subiaco's over-the-top heritage agenda. While I have been a Labor voter since the heady days of the Vietnam War moratorium marches and the beginnings of the 1970s environmental movements, I won't be voting Labor in the next state election. So, 'Chelle, keep ya hands off our Sue. When we needed help in Shenton Park, she was the only politician who offered a helping hand. Kevin Ballantine |
