Just heard some news that Mr Combet, Labor's candidate may not be living in Charlton. Is this an issue?
Well I think it's one to consider because how can you understand the importance of a 40-60 minute commute to Newcastle if you never have to do it?
Is the health care crisis critical if you don't have to wait a week to see a GP?
Can you understand the need for public transport if your area is serviced by it?
Can you appreciate the importance of the local environment if you're not emmersed in it?
I guess there is an argument that you don't have to experience everything first hand to understand it but surely when it comes to representing people there is a strong case for living in the area to experience the issues and be motivated to attend to them.
