Well said, Matt Condon
In the Courier-Mail today (July 16, 2010), Matt Condon writes of his frustration with the stock reply he received from the Premier's office when he wrote, as a private citizen, to ask Anna Bligh to intervene on behalf of the Regent. Condon writes:
I also know enough about life to understand that any government that treats its people and their concerns as unworthy of mindful consideration, that deems it satisfactory to subject them to cut and paste mimeographhs on matters that go to their hearts, and that frankly disrespects them as fools who know no better, has lost its grasp of democracy, its purpose and its obligation to the people it pretends to represent.
Well said, sir!
I suggest everybody who received the same form letter as Matt write again to the Premier with specific questions and asking for real answers. Don't let the Premier and her team treat us with contempt.

Im guessing there is so much interest in the Regent, and so many letters, that our politicians have had to create the 1 size fits all dribble we all received!
THAT should tell them something!
Indeed, but it also show
Indeed, but it also show that they don't want to address our specific concerns about the decision. As Matt says, they think we're stupid enough to be fobbed off with a reply that doesn't even indicate they've read our letters.
