Letters to the Editor Tanya Inc
Dear Editor Is it any wonder people are cynical about the true motives of politicians, including those from the ALP? MP for Sydney Tanya Plibersek is a relative newcomer to Labor's ranks in Canberra. But while she professes loudly and often to be part of the brave new way forward for Labor, she has been quick to resort to the sort of shameless self-promotion that would leave grocery king Big Kev gasping in admiration. The May edition of Tanya's 'Sydneysider Community News' includes 21 photographs in total. Tanya, in her modesty and in line with the spirit of collectivism, has allowed herself to feature in just 17 of these images. No doubt a little anxious after the big swing from Labor to the Greens in her seat at the last federal election, Tanya has quite sensibly decided to focus on the big issue of concern to her constituents. And that issue is Tanya Plibersek. This approach might work for real estate agents like Elizabeth Shields, but is individualistic style over substance really the key to Labor's renewal?
