Our current political leaders have proved hopeless when it comes to addressing one of the most serious issues facing the resident of the Mid North Coast, that is global warming and the predicted sea level rises and the disastrous effect this will have on many of our towns and settlement up and down the coast, if global warming is not addressed.

The recent UN report on climate change and the catastrophic effects of the planet warming on coastal communities like ours, is a wake up call to us all.

Our local politicians have their heads in the sand. We need political leaders who are genuinely concerned about their constituents and are not swayed by vested interests, angry shock jocks and bogus science.  

It’s time for a true independent representative and not party hacks blindly toeing the party line.

The science is clear lets act on it.
