DEAR News Of The Area,
I AGREE wholeheartedly with Kathy Brown’s letter (5 February).
I felt frustrated and a little intimidated by the very noisy and aggressive campaign to dismiss the idea of an offshore windfarm, before the survey even got off the ground.
What happened to all the people who voted overwhelmingly for Labor to address climate change?
We handed over to the government the job to actually do something which would help. Possibly, like me, they were stunned by the mostly emotive negative campaign which followed. It drowned out and dismissed anyone supporting the idea of the windfarm even before any preliminary assessments were begun.
It was an extremely well-funded, intense and aggressive opposition to the proposal, with little merit.
Why, I wonder?
How do people expect climate change to be addressed?
We are seriously running out of time.
Regards,
Robina BADGER,
Nelson Bay.
