In yesterday's Border Mail, Spot read that Warren Truss announced that lots of current Government funding under the Regional Development Project would be scrapped if the Liberal/National Party coalition become the government. This includes funding for Wodonga, Wangaratta, Rutherglen and Mount Beauty.
Spot smells a rat.
Spot suspects that this might be a very sneaky way of trying to get more votes for Sophie.
Spot wonders whether people will think "Oh, but with a Cabinet Minister as a local representative, we'll get our money after all."
Here is what Spot thinks: Sophie has been our representative in Indi for a long time (twelve years for humans - eighty four in dog years). For a lot of that time - from 2001 right up to 2007 - she was a member of the party in government, just like she might be after next week.
Spot wants Indi voters to think about how much benefit they got from having a member of the government as a local member then. Spot wants Indi voters to read what Sophie said today: that she doesn't think these are important projects.
Spot thinks that these Nationals and Liberals are being a bit sneaky.
But Spot has faith in the voters of Indi. He knows that the voters of Indi are clever, like he is.
Spot wants you to prove him right!
