His response to the Retailers Association’s claim that his Townsville Grocery Price Watch site is misleading shoppers because the data is too quickly dated was a little too precious.
Attacking the representative of part of his own constituency (shopkeepers) with comments like the following isn’t very smart:
''This is a typical arrogant Brisbane attitude,'' he said.
''They sit back and wait for us to do something, then come in and say they can do it better.
''Maybe he should come out and do something for the people of Townsville, instead of throwing mud around the place.''Personally, I thought the Price Watch site was a good idea (and no doubt was good politics) but the Retailers Association’s comments about it being out of date are fair enough – after all it hasn’t been updated since November.
Expect to see more Brisbane bashing from Col – he has form and after all they are very cheap shots to fire. He just needs to learn to not fire them at his own wantabe constituency
PS: I wonder whether he was one of the 17 people who attended the recent meeting of the North Qld Party in Cairns along with that great retail politician (god! I hate that term), Bob Katter?
