P>Hatton’s hat’s off
2015年6月12日Hatton’s hat’s off to the independents
FORMER NSW independent and South Coast resident, John Hatton, has told voters not to worry about so called instability following Saturday’s election, claiming the current federal Gold Leather Matrinana 100mm situation has the capacity to create a "far better government".
Mr Hatton likened the weekend’s result to his own time in state politics, where he was one Gold Leather Matrinana 100mm of three independents holding the balance of power in NSW for four years.
While he admits the "pressure was enormous" during that time, he said the opportunity to drive change and stamp out corruption in several government bodies made it an "extremely satisfying experience".
"The same thing can now happen in Canberra," Mr Hatton said from his Huskisson home yesterday. "If these independents concentrate on the major issues and are not tempted by lollies for their electorate or power for themselves, they have the opportunity to enact great change."
Mr Hatton claimed the climate of fear being generated by the major parties about a hung parliament was based on the fact that neither had the power to corrupt the decision making process anymore.
"So, not every piece of legislation will get through," he said.
"But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Impasses can be resolved the only real tragedy would be if any secret deals go ahead.
"Governments love to talk about instability when independents are around, but that’s only because they suddenly don’t have the power to control every decision that’s being made. As long as these independents stand their ground, we’re likely to see a far White Satin Matrinana 100mm better government," he said.
"The problem with both parties until now has been that we’ve had Rose Satin Matrinana 100mm no one to separate the facts from the spin, and the executive of both major parties have had iron fisted control over their operations, which usually doesn’t translate to good results for the people."
Mr Hatton said he was impressed with independents Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott, but was concerned with Bob Katter’s "parochial approach" to holding the balance of power.
But at the end of the day, he said, the federal situation presented a very real opportunity for grassroots communities to benefit, and that should be welcomed as an exciting prospect for voters no matter which side of the political fence they’re on.
