Anna Bligh Fails Her Local Electorate

Anna Bligh has come out waving a sword and proudly proclaiming she has made change for good in the Queensland Health Department.  However; locally, Ms Bligh, the elected member for South Brisbane, rarely is in her office undertaking 'electorate work' for the people who voted her in or those who did not but need her intervention.  No; she is too busy with executive roles in the Labor Party and as the Premier to bother about the simple and not so simple folk. Ms Bligh gave the task of running the electorate to a very young man named Angus (a secretary; never elected to parliament-very pleasant, very zealous, but lacking the life experience and business sagacity to fulfill the role of local Member of Parliament). Angus, the real working member for the electorate of South Brisbane, is actual a fill-in; Ms Bligh's long time senior electorate secretary Tina Langford was seconded to some job in George Street.  Either way; neither Angus nor Tina was elected to run the electorate; people voting for Ms Bligh assumed that this job would be done by Ms Bligh - not a secretary.  Yes, many politicians rely on electorate secretaries to help run their offices; but not to this extent!  Ms Bligh is not available to see the 'little people' with what her staff think are little problems - she is, if you are lucky - available to see those with business or other problems when her intervention will bring a photo opportunity or a claim to have 'helped in the electorate'.  As well meaning as office staff are; they were never elected by voters to do the job of local member.  Anna Bligh has three (3) fulltime jobs and something had to give - that something was representation and association with the battlers in her electorate - instead she leaves that to the Gen Y office secretary.  This is not good enough for the constituents; or fair on the junior and inexperienced Angus. As previously stated Anna Bligh has three (3) full time jobs; the one she is not doing is representing her local electorate; time to resign Ms Bligh and stick with the role of president of the Labor Party.  You have done nothing in the electorate; plonking a huge hospital in the wrong place, dislodging other services to do it, failing to have sufficient services in the way of buses and roads, continuing to have a Police force locally that refuses to serve the whole community and restricts themselves to the better end of town, failing to provide locally sufficient dental services and hospital beds, failing to address desperate issues for local constituents - it is down to you Ms Bligh.  Time to go Anna-and fast!
