The dust has settled on the election, with the Central Coast changing from red (Labor) to blue (Liberal), thanks to the John Singleton funded 'Team Central Coast' and our own Lawrie McKenna.
Lawrie's justification for preferencing the Liberals was to attract more funding for the Coast. He recently said: "Our whole aim was to force the major parties to give the region the funding it deserves. We provided both parties with a list of things we found to be crucial for the central coast."
Considering the large funding provided by Labor to the Mariners, it will be interesting to see whether Lawrie's tactic pays off. Of course, his objective is not just the Mariners. But I'd be mighty pissed off if funding equal to or larger than that provided by Julia\Kevin doesn't flow to help Mariners continue their work in the community.
Does anyone know what Lawrie's' 'list of things' includes?
Thoughts?
