Chris Gulaptis gets serve from local voter

Letter to the Editor in The Daily Examiner today.
 
"Campaign
 
INTO my mailbox last week came a letter that made me wish the election were on tomorrow.
  The Nationals candidate for Page (Casino and Lismore, Ballina, Grafton and all the towns in between) writes that he offers a 'country focus'.
  But I ask him, after 11 years in office where is the completed Pacific Highway, where is the funding for rural education and decent health and dental services?
  The Nationals candidate for Page writes that he will focus on water but his party said it will dam the Clarence.
  His glossy green and gold brochure explains that we should look forward to a Howard/Vaile team but we all know that we will have a Costello.
  This Nationals man goes on to vilify unions, but they are the only group uniquely organised to combat the excesses of the National's extreme WorkChoices legislation.
  He tells me that young people will get better services.
  A trip to Iran perhaps?
  Why would anyone vote for Mr. Howard and the Nationals?
  Oh yes that's right...they'll keep interest rates down.
