Richard Koerner, treasurer of the Coolum Residents association, writes in with a few rebuttals of former Maroochy Mayor Joe Natoli's election advertising.

There is a particularly misleading brochure put out by Joe Natoli former Mayor of Maroochy talking up the financial performance of the Sunshine Coast airport and presenting misleading statistics on rates.

It would be in the public interest to reveal the real performance of the Airport to date as follows:

As the genuine long term resident of the Division 2 electorate, I offer you an understanding of, and a passion for all of Caloundra.

I have no particular agenda motivating me, no ‘silent’ developer support, just a commitment to treat all issues on their merits and represent the community honestly, fairly and consistently.

I have a plan to take us into the future, while maintaining the unique character of each of our communities. The things that make our towns and localities so special, must be preserved forever.

I have a plan for managing growth - keeping it to the areas already identified for growth along transport corridors. That will protect our rural areas.
