He spent his last few letters telling us all about how protectionism, new tarriffs and re-regulation is going to help us - although he has never acknowledged the extra burden these kind of policies place on the cost of living within our communities.

Here he talks about the State minister for primary industries “not having a clue”‘ as to what she is talking about - I would simply say that it appears Mr Nicholson is the one “without a clue”.

The minister has decided to ensure tax payer’s hard earned money is spent wisely, effectively and with an appropriate strategy by avoiding any unnecessary duplication across three seperate departments.

These departments are not currently sharing back office administration duties and at times are completing the same operations without a coordinated approach.

Local land services will cut duplication, deliver superior results and reduce the cost burden to the tax payers of NSW - Sounds good to me!

The minister for primary industries Katrina Hodgkinson has shown tremendous leadership, innovation and a willingness to make the tough decisions for the greater good. What is Mr Nicholson doing, other than “throwing stones”?

I encourage Mr Nicholson to direct his misguided rants towards a more thought-out research driven, solution based argument before any more letters of this calibre.

Alternatively he could direct his passion towards the people, Julia Gillard and the Labor party, that have put this country into disarray, economic strain, financial waste, business confidence at all time lows, unemployment on a continued rise, increase in small business red tape and a lack of any long term strategy to change any of the mentioned - that would be more constructive than attacking a proactive minister, with proactive ideas, and an active solution.
