OPINION: A voice at the table Opinion by News Of The Area - Modern Media - March 2, 2023 DEAR News Of The Area, The POLLS are suggesting a Labor victory in the NSW state election. Coffs Harbour has never had a female member or a Labor member and the Nats have lost twelve percent of their primary vote in the last two state contests. A national party member in opposition will give the electorate a limited voice in government but an Independent such as Sally Townley or Labor candidate Tony Judge in a close margin Labor government will give us the strongest voice. At the last election 1/4 of the votes were exhausted due to voters not numbering every box. If you want a change of government and a voice at the table, number every box and put the Nationals last. Regards, Peter LEWIS, Park Beach.
