It seems the Nationals have abandoned their traditional constituents and rely on their own election spiel to convince themselves of how clever they are. 

Management of State affairs has been atrocious. 

Nationals Minister Paul Toole showed complete contempt for local Government with forced amalgamations and then abandoned the job.

Troy Grant messed the greyhounds and now is not going to stand for next election. 

You would expect  water management and local Land Services to be a specialty of the Nationals but they are  a basket case. 

Katrina Hodgkinson  jumped ship and Niall Blair has no intention of trying to fix the mess. 

John Barilaro has protected feral animals to damage fragile environments and graziers are not allowed to graze stock on Stock Routes. WOW!

A look at the Nationals political advertising mirrors their management capability. 

Daydreaming about what might happen in a perfect world.   

No policy information,  idyllic rhetoric with no idea of the real world. 

The Television ad featuring a nice lady riding a smart horse at some equestrian event took me back over fifty years to the local pictures, where the blissful setting reminded me of a Marlborough ad.

My brave little mate the Ooomanakker  bird tried to tell me he missed all the excitement in the back row of the pictures but he thought it was an ad for R.B. Sellars.

Sincerely 

John Niven
