i am impressed with my local state member today.
i wrote an email to the editor of our local newspaper (go the hornsby advocate!) about some dodgy road work in Hornsby. today i received a letter from judy hopwood saying she'd read my letter in the newspaper, and had forwarded on my concerns to the roads minister, as well as writing her own letter to him.
quite unexpected, as it was just an email to the paper with just my comments, name and suburb. but there is was in our post box. on the bottom of the note, it is revealed that contact details are obtained from the electoral list. so there you go. that took a bit of research on her part. or her staffs part.
i feel listened to.
plus i like getting mail.

I had a similar experience with Mrs Hopwood after writing into the Bush Telegraph about traffic conditions on Berowra Waters Road.
We need more women like her in Parliament!
