Gerard Martin claims people who don't live in his electorate have no right commenting

Submitted by libertarian on Fri, 27/11/2009 - 5:36pm

As part of the public inquiry being carried out into Carenne Special School on Sydney Indymedia, I contacted Gerard Martin, member for Bathurst about serious issues at the school. I asked him whether or not he still believed the organisation at the centre of the Carenne Gate affair still delivered best value for dollar following the release of documents on Sydney Indymedia clearly showing they had defrauded the NSW government.

Mr Martin's reply was:
The fact that something has been revealed on Indymedia does not make it true. I am aware of many libellous and untrue statements posted on that website. I am Also intrigued as to how and why people who do not live in the area have no knowledge or links to the school can add to the mischievous innuendo and rumour.

I have news for Mr Martin, as a taxpayer in NSW I have every right to question what is happening with my money. I also pay Mr Martin's wages and have the right to question what he does and says.

I suppose this is why he was so upset being interrogated on Ray Hadley's show this morning - Ray doesn't live in his electorate.

MP Martin NSW taxpayers are expected to comment on the work product of our elected reps even you. You refuse to reply to emails or rise to the challenge related to allagations about Carenne Public School at Bathurst. What voters like me are doing is part of the process by which you get re elected. I feel it is my civic duty to expose you and your party members for the weak Labor politicians you clearly are.

Gerard Martin is woefully mistaken and he can not treat the terrible things that happen there as part of his personal fiefdom, and thus hide them from the public interest. The voters will surely kick this arrogant fellow to the curb in favour of someone who cares about both the electorate and its relation to the state. Any independent can take this seat with little effort.

I have heard Ray Hadley give this grub a spray on 2GB on more that one occaision. The office of Premier and Cabinet in NSW has a lot to answer for. Carenne Public School is damageing students and destroying itself from within while the serious misconduct unit and senior people busy themselves trying to cover up matters which Education Minister Verity Firth should have addressed with sackings last year. The student teacher sex allagations are incidental to children being kept in a place identified as a PIG PEN. No wonder the DET Code of Conduct is such a well hidden doucument. Fear and bullying are tools used by the KLAN along with lies that police have closed down this Indymedia site.

Latest Incident the klan placed human faeces on the front seat of carenne support bus, next to the driver in attempt to bullie her so she will leave her job.These disable students had to travel to lithgow and cullen bullen for six trips before this bus was cleaned it was blamed on a student having a accident ,Which is not correct.Bullying is a serious offence mr martin .The corruption going on in carenne public school will come out i will assure you of that.

Gerard what about the bus your relation goes on to cullen bullen,The klan said the driver was breaking the bus, it was put into clancy motors when the driver refused to drive it because it wasn't road worthy and the hydrolic hose had a hole in it.Would you take the blame if there had been a accident worse still a fatality.

MP Gerard Martin, MP Linda Burney and MP/Mayor Robert Furolo are Labor MPs what do people expect from them, that they earn their wage or address their constituents concerns. Again they are useless Labor MPs.

The later two have quite some explaining to do to the people they serve with the release of the NSW Ombudsman report being released.

Some info is at

If you have a chance please comment there.

The Daily Telegraph ran a story on Page 11 on the final report issued by the NSW Ombudsman.

And unfortunately as the CouncilGripe site was intimated by the Council lawyers, no submissions are accepted their under Canterbury City Council, which is understood. But.... under Rockdale you will find Canterbury City Council commentary that is permitted.

An incompetently run Canterbury City Council that had these two MP's proudly standing alongside.

An absolute disgrace.

The NSW Ombudsman has disgraced them and now we need the public to see the disgrace - we need everyones support.

Mr Gerard Martin answers to everyone unless he also stands proudly alongside his disgraced coworkers.
