Letter to the editor: Hypothermic politics
Failed NSW Upper House politician and full-frontal nudist party leader, Stuart Baanstra, knows what hypothermia is (Letters, City News, April 14).
When core body temperature drops due to lack of clothing symptoms include mental confusion, amnesia, stumbling, atrial fibrillation, even stupor.
As major media pointed out: “Politics in NSW has had its share of clowns but it was the full circus” during the last state elections.
Unsurprisingly, his attack on our group lacks focus. Highlighting Adrian Bartels’ duplicity, (Liberal Party candidate) for “walking both sides of the street” simultaneously as Chair of the Kings Cross Business Partnership, whose aims include protecting residents, as well protecting avaricious pubs and club interests, is a matter of public interest.
And contrary to Mr Nudie’s claims, I am not spiderman or the Saviour of Sydney.
Clearly, hypothermia has set in.
Nor has he read clearly what I wrote. ‘Cow manure’ was not a description of Clover Moore: she is self-apparent with her black leather choker and electro-shock hair.
It is what her and her council emit to justify some outrageous proposals such a new LEP and DCP without adequate local community consultation meetings, new public urinals in the streets and a new KX-style drugs facility put forth as a “medical surgery” in heritage-listed Victoria Street, Potts Point.
Now wonder Baanstra received only 88 votes from a pool of 4.6 million, or 0.0005% of the vote.
