Do Noosa locals know their State MP?

In preparation for the upcoming election, a Noosa Today journalist hit Hastings Street to ask locals: Who is the State Member of Parliament for Noosa and what is the most important issue they should be addressing?

1. Marianna Riley

“Our MP is Sandy Bolton and I believe a big issue is tourism. They should be opening up the borders before Hastings Street becomes like it was 10 to 12 years ago with 20 empty shops.“

2. Kristy Axe

“I have no idea who our MP is. In terms of the issues, we’re pretty happy. Not one to complain.“

3. Bill Watson

“Is it Llew O’Brien? Oh wait it’s Sandy Bolton. I think a big issue is the amount of pot holes on our roads. I counted 27 pot holes from Tewantin and the council wanted to know how deep they were. The Surf Club carpark also needs to be cleaned.“
