Quirk, why I won't vote for you

Graham Quirk, It is good that you have committed $20 Million to save our Pier.

However, as previously advised I told you that I would be keeping a close eye on what you say in the future. As a consequence I am forced to again set the records straight.

Your comment in this article that “From day one I have said I would protect this important piece of Community infrastructure” is not true.  

Let me remind you AGAIN that you said initially after you closed the Pier Due to safety reasons and duty of care (which I do not have a problem with by the way) you Graham stated on March 21^st this year, “If this Pier has to come down then we would certainly be wanting to erect a Pier of some sort”

Even when you opened the Bluewater Festival you stated that there will always be a Shorncliffe Pier, not committing yourself to save the Pier.

 It was not till you spoke on 4BC on April 12^th at 3:50pm did you commit publicly to saving this beautiful & loved Pier.

The fact of all of this is that it is all a matter of public record, and though people’s memories can be short, mine and the media’s memory are not.

Your candidate also in this article stated that “This is not about Politics” but you had made it a political matter in some of your statements which resulted in my previous open letter to you.

Now my personal opinion, INTEGRITY and HONESTY is paramount in my decisions on whom I vote for, Campbell Newman I see as a man who sets integrity levels to a very high standard, that is why I like him and our new Member Kerry Millard and the achievement of winning the State election proved that many people had the same opinion.

You on the other hand, like to play politics and state mistruths, and this is just one point that I can list. This is why this very conservative voter has for the 3^rd time in his life, voted (pre-poll) for the Labor Party candidate as sadly I see you as a person who strives on mistruth, and lacks the integrity to get my vote.
