Kevin Hogan - Nice Snow Job to the constituents mate!

 Page MP Kevin Hogan who said back in 2013 prior to the federal election he would support the people and cross the floor if it came to that, has now fully back stabbed the constituents with his latest Judas move in federal parliament regarding the Water Trigger Bill.

The‘water trigger’ legislation was passed during the final days of the Labor federal government in 2013 and this gave the OCSG (Federal environmental department) the juristiction to intervene where controversial CSG and coal mining projects were impacting the environment. 

Janelle Saffin was instrumental in developing this legislation but now she is the former Page Labor MP.

Hogan said he would cross the floor if that is what it took, that is what he said at the time when there was an impending election.

Even though he promised his electorate he would support them, he voted to allow the water trigger to be handed back to the various states.

‘Before the last election, Hogan made a specific commitment not to support Federal environment powers being handed back to the states and threatened to “cross the floor” on CSG.

‘However, last week in federal parliament that commitment lay in tatters, and Kevin Hogan voted for the bill which has gutted the water trigger on CSG mining.  He had his one big chance to cross the floor, and he blew it. Michael McNamara, spokesperson with Gasfield Free Northern Rivers.

‘Kevin Hogan was elected on his mandate on CSG at the time of the election and now his actions are effectively a stake in the heart for the people of the Northern Rivers.  

Kevin Hogan Page MP - No different to the rest of them it is so appearing.  I don't think the voters will be impressed with this.   I would suggest there is a high probability the Nana's are already knitting up a storm in front of his office to highlight the broken promises and the twisted filthy side of politics to which he belongs.
