The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
I was taken aback by the “editorial” written by MP John Weston. Set aside the issues of LNG and local decision- making, what astounded me was the hypocrisy. I find it difficult to believe that a member of this Conservative government would state “industrial projects should be evaluated one by one, based on facts and science”. Where has Weston been?
This government has done all in its power to gut scientific research, muzzle Federal scientists and move away from science based decisionmaking.
It has gone to the extent of replacing fact with ideology limiting who can give evidence before regulatory bodies and even Commons Committees.
It looks to me there is a desperate attempt by Weston to “remake” himself with an election looming. Sorry John, your record of silence and conformity in all things Conservative speaks for itself.
