Indi and Cathy McGowan our inspiration

Watch out all those who claim to operate "in our interest" . Those of us who have gladly held the responsibility of office as public servants know that today ...right now... in our country there are many who either can't or won't talk about it in their patch . Its tragic and it must stop

• Sometimes its because their parties are paranoid and have been pandering too long to the marginals and sometimes its because "they think they know" when "out into the country they go ",.
• Sometimes its because they have gone into a job they thought was easy but have found they are have been sharing ignorance and arrogance about something that takes real cooperation -and don't want to admit it
• Sometimes its because they are a wonderful young person interested in public issues but overcome by the crap upstairs . 
• Sometimes its because they are being bullied by their CEO and his team (in some sort of ongoing "Kennett curse" of business knows best rubbish ? ) 
• You and I haven't got time for all the reasons 

. All we want our leaders to do is represent us --and that what Cathy has stood up to do . Lets hope our Sarah does the same in Corangamite.

Media watch out.  All this is a surprise to you because you are showing the same ignorance and arrogance of some of those who would jump into our busy and highly productive world and lead us - be sure you too can be as productive...... before you start .......trying to find us partners ( Farmer wants a wife but needs a slave )
Council Execs watch out - if you are listening to State bureaus out of paper chase control , you too are not listening to us .Jeff Kennett and his careless Liberal mates  thought they were clever sacking public servants but little did he know he created and enormous shortage and set the scene for an era of depression and degradation in local government like no other .dumb stuff and dangerous bureau stuff . Lets hope the new Liberals show more respect for the words written in the floor of parliament Watch out Liberal leaders Heaven does not come from ust adopting business principles in every household in the country .Heaven doesn't just arrive when you sell things .
Respect the unique eco environment of Agriculture . We make stuff and because we use the environment to do it ,it means both city and country need to CARE MORE for the careless use of monotheistic economic policy in our patch . No more retail therapy dummies - its not diverse , its not sensitive , its quickfix and doesn't model real resilience ( and stop using that word until you know how it works)
Respect the needs of young people . Our young people WANT and deserve more than asset stripping  . They want and deserve  a sustainable culture of rest recreation and high productivity  ( our patch) . A career in helping farmers understand the environment not another trucked army with mere shovels or Cmas and Departments of Worry and Ignorance that just write  codes about things they don't understand and haven't put into practice . Stop the rot Greg Hunt !

If you are going to tell us what to do - know how things work or just sit and learn for a while longer 

Indi you are the countries inspiration and McGowans deserve full accreditation !
