Letter to the Editor - Lesley Noah in Logan
Written by Jason Wilson   
Thursday, 06 March 2008

Lesley Noah writes in to chip us about our summary of the race in Logan. We have had a number of letters complaining about how we've characterised particular races - we'd like to stress that we're accepting material from all candidates, and are in no way seeking to influence readers about how they should vote. But we'll always publish fair criticisms of the site, and correct errors where they are pointed out!

My husband (Andrew Rimington)and I are running as Indepedent Mayoral candidates for Logan under the group name "From the People for the People".

We may not have millions of signs erected, but we are enjoying a lot of media attention from TV, radio and magazines because of our unusual situation - we are the first husband and wife team to nominate for the same role in the history of Australian politics.  Our story was just on the 6.00 pm news on Channel 9 this evening and we have more TV exposure still to come.

As I have been politcally active in the Logan community for 6 years and have offered myself to my community at 4 elections (local, state & federal) including the last Mayoral By Election on 1 April 2006, I already have quite a well established public profile.

Given the shocking reputation of our existing Council and Mr Barton's dubious departure from state politics, the people of Logan are discontented and looking for new alternatives.  This has been demonstrated at all the public forums all the mayoral candidates have attended, where we have received standing ovations.

I believe the opinion published on your web site indicating the Mayoral election is between Parker & Barton is inaccurate, as either my husband or I now have a great chance of being elected.

I would be happy to provide you with more information which supports my view and hope you will be willing to reconsider your own accordingly.

I can be contacted on either 07-3299 5259 or 0422 155999 if you wish to discuss this

She's a dynamo that woman! You'll be surprised at the amount of stuff that she can send you too.

Hi Lesley. As far as choosing someone to vote for. Who would make the better Mayor, You or your husband? I'm hoping you don't say "either" because that would be really confusing. I do agree there are unanswered questions about Barton, and also why Freeman is trying to come back again...

At least it was Pam Parker, a very nice lady, who smashed Barton and Freeman. Nobody took those clowns seriously, and that's the last we will see of them.
