Hard to imagine how governments can stuff it up so badly.

First they jam an amalgamation down our throats, then they appoint an administrator incapable of making decisions.

Hilltops must be the worst place in Australia to try to do business.

Poor PM Malcolm who promises us jobs and growth is shot down by the local National Party not hauling their political appointee into line.

Primary Industry Minister Blair has stated he is trying to foster intensive agriculture. His supposed local support team make him look like a joke.

When the then Young Shire Council voted down the Koorani piggery DA Bob Carr sent his trouble shooters Mike O’Shay and Ado Zanella to Young to admonish the Council.  

Please Premier Baird will you do the same?

The cost of delay and dithering to parties trying to carry out complying activities is horrendous.

I can only advise anyone wanting to do business to get as far away from the horror that is Hilltops.

And its not only private peoples money being burnt - just go for a drive for 15 kms North of Young on the Olympic Highway. 

How much taxpayers money has gone up in smoke - Is it $2 million??   

Dear Duncan Gay, Katrina Hodgkinson and the National Party, 

After sixteen years of mismanagement by the NSW Labor Party, rural Australians looked forward to a strong coalition government in NSW.  

Now look what has happened following the Orange by-election.

The NSW National Party has totally abandoned rural NSW.  

Barnaby Joyce and Duncan Gay (with the implementation of a plan and funding to fix up regional roads) must be pulling their hair out.  

Their good work has all been thrown away by the belligerence of a Premier and the failure of the Nationals to listen to their constituents.  

The LLS has been a total disaster with services stripped out of rural areas.  

After six years of coalition Government, farmers in the north and the west of the State are still waiting for the Native Veg laws to be passed.

How the banning of the greyhound racing industry and the forced amalgamation of councils passed NSW parliament without a whimper from the NSW Nationals beggars belief.

A moratorium on the current forced amalgamations must be called immediately and the old shires reconstituted.

The Hilltops merger is a farce.  

We now have an Administration running around handing out grants (the very thing Premier Baird said had to end) but doing nothing to foster economic development..  

Harden Council should be given the opportunity to amalgamate with Cootamundra as they agreed to do and ICAC accepted.

If the Coalition continues to act as they have, Labor will be back in office at the next election.

Yours sincerely, Tony Flanery
