Mount Druitt Police Station Opens - News Local - But Missing 'Olivia' In Attendance....

People that are forgotten are  not well recognised, sometimes.

What do I mean, simply that the former opposition Liberal candidate Olivia Skadiang (formerly Lloyd), had fought hard with the then Premier of NSW, Michael Baird to  request an upgrade of Mount Druitt Police Station. I believe the press release she had wasn't received very well or at all. Yet to get a NSW premier to agree to an upgrade of a Police Station, in a Labor area was unheard of, especially to me. I see she wasn't invited to the this opening event.....

I actually couldn't believe it how Olivia had got this for the our area. I notice in the press release fro m News Local - there is no mention of NSW State Member of Mount Druitt, Hon. Edmond Atalla's attendance at event. Knowing him, he would have been there as he was advocating for the upgrade prior to his election into NSW State Parliament.

Foundations Are Being Laid For Mount Druitt Police Station Upgrade

Mount Druitt Police Station is getting it's much needed upgrade. It was an initiative from the Opposition Candidate from Mount Druitt, in the 2015 State Election, Olivia Lloyd. This was sought as an election promise from Olivia, she personally lobbied for and obtained directly from the Liberal Premier of the day, Mike Baird.

This also has probably been started up by previous State Member for Mount Druitt, Richard Amery and recently by the current member of Mount Druitt, Hon. Edmond Atalla.

Mount Druitt's Police Station modern upgrade is required in our area because of  a lot of new medium density housing being built within the hub of Mount Druitt. Included as reason is the trend of rising populations growth as previously mentioned, in the past and currently.

We all live in our community world that is growing day by day. If our population changes and the surrounding infrastructure/essential services doesn't meet or catch up to population changes, then some major decisions have to made to  keep everything at pace with population growth.
We congratulate 2015 NSW Mount Druitt, Liberal Candidate, Olivia Lloyd, Hon. Edmond Atalla, State Member for Mount Druitt, Former NSW Premier Michael Baird and any other person that put a good word or followed through with this community improvement.

Let's face it, we can't fall behind the times, in our most important area with anything. Thank you  for the NSW Government for getting things done, especially for Mount Druitt Police Station.

Polling Booths Around Mount Druitt On 28th March 2015 - Conversations and People!

As I'd traveled around booth to booth, I found h happy candidates and former NSW State Members. It was a beautiful day to hold a NSW State Election and some booths had voters queuing for periods of time.

We had former NSW State Member for Rooty Hill, Mr. Richard Amery at Rooty Public School. Rumors were that Edmond Atalla, Labor Posters placed over 2 two Olivia Lloyd, Liberal Posters (without asking her Polling Staff),  because the Liberals had 'Prime Position' for the posters on the fence first and the Labor party wasn't happy with that and wanted an enquiry table under the questionable sign. I must admit it looked 'unprofessional' but that is the kind of things that happen on 'polling day'! I must admit Mr Amery appeared like he was running for re-election - he was well dressed!

The was queuing at Polling Booths and this occurs at times when the Polling Booth Staff take morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea breaks as explained by Mr. Richard Amery. The queues reached outside the gate, some people could not wait and said they would come back, they had to be back by 6pm, otherwise there is that $55.00 fine for not voting.


Then there was Candidate Olivia Lloyd, Liberal candidate for Mount Druitt with Ward 4 Councillor Isabelle White at Minchinbury Public School. It was amazing the young person handing for 'No Land Tax' said she would be voting 'Liberal' - probably just helping out someone else.
 
At a different Polling Booth, former NSW State Member for Londonderry, Allan Shearan (in the background) was handing out for Councillor Edmond Atalla, Labor candidate for Mount Druitt (now elected) - not assisting Londonderry State seat - that is politics!

And here we are at Dawson  Polling Booth.

It's funny, when you hear rumors that a when the Labor Party see good Liberal supporters, they try to coax them in joining the Labor Party.  With the Party machine the Labor Party has, you would not think it needs more members. 

The Labor Party machine had former Federal Member for Chifley Roger Price and his son, Ben Price as scrutineers at Colyton Public School.

It's also funny, no one has coaxed myself to join any party and yet I won't. I have handed out for 2 different parties before and current, but like everyone else, I share positive views on behalf of the community and what I vote, I reserve my right! What I will say is I was a scrutineer at Dean Park and I enjoyed it -  other
scrutineers were very polite and respectable!

This is an example of scrutinizing votes look like:







 

Mount Druitt Candidates Bring Dignity And Respect For Each Other At Pre-Poll - Mount Druitt Standard!

At Pre-poll, political parties are trying to grab the last vote from you as you enter the Polling Booth. By voting before the election, this prevents being fined $55.00, for not voting by the election day.

At Mount Druitt Pre-poll booth, last Wednesday week, at 'The Hub' - Greens candidate, Brent Robertson collapsed late in the afternoon and was rush by paramedics to hospital. Brent contacted myself over the weekend and assured myself he was fine then. What I didn't know was both opposition candidates Councillor Edmon Atalla (Labor) and Olivia Lloyd (Liberal) had made instant decisions to take care of the situation by contacting emergency ambulance service and secondly his immediate family.

This shows from both candidates that no matter what voters think candidates are as caring as any human are, especially when placed in a difficult  life threatening issue of other candidates. This shows such dignity and respect from these candidates as they gave special attention to Brent Robertson.  We thank them very much on behalf of the community!
