Candidate says he won’t work hard for Parkes

Michael Kiely, the Climate Change Coalition candidate for the seat says he won’t “work hard” for the Electorate.

“John Anderson said he ‘worked hard’ for the Electorate. John Cobb says he is ‘working hard’. MPs say they work hard. But what does it get the voters?”

“Dudded on Telstra, on broadband Internet connection, on the single wheat desk, on rural health services. If that’s ‘working hard’, then I intend to be a bludger. I don’t think the electorate could survive another term of ‘hard work,’” he says.

Mr Kiely says our political system turns voters into passive consumers. “All we do is vote once very three years and we have the services of a person who will ‘work hard’ for us. We outsource our political responsibilities and that’s why they get away with things like the Telstra.”

Mr Kiely is involved in climate change planning for agriculture through the Carbon Coalition. He is not getting around the electorate yet is because he is on the team organising the world’s first Carbon Farming Expo & Conference on 16th-17th November in Mudgee.

“It is a grassroots movement, started by scientists and farmers in the central west. We are aiming for 500 attendees and have attracted sponsorship from big names like the NAB, Landmark, Country Energy and Holistic Management International. It’s about adjusting to climate change and slowing it down,” he says.

“I see my job as helping people help themselves.”
