Southlands National Park is to be used by the Public not Politicians


I welcome the news that Southlands will be converted to a National Park. This idea originated with former Premier Alex Scott and was one of the campaign promises I made in the leadup to the 2012 election.
 I am concerned however by the overt politicizing of an event that should be about putting the people of Warwick first, not the politicians.

 Is it appropriate for the mother of OBA Senator and Warwick candidate Alexis Swan to be managing the fund raising effort?

 Is it appropriate for the wide and diverse community of Warwick to be excluded in the process going forward in favor of OBA insiders? 

 Isn't a more open, transparent, non-partisan and collaborative approach the more appropriate approach to take on an issue that we all agree on?

 This National Park, conceived by the PLP and implemented by the OBA is a perfect opportunity for us to unite and move our Warwick community forward together.
