A Whitsundays conservative kid

He might be just 11 years old but this die hard conservative supporter packs quite a political punch for a sixth grader.

In a handwritten letter to Mike Brunker, which was delivered by his mother to council yesterday morning, this pint sized future politician Adam Edgar explains to the mayor how “extremely upset” he is at the closing of the information centre.

“You see, when we go camping or travelling, the first thing we do is look for the information centre. See, in case you don’t know, that is where people go to find out where to stay … play … and eat!” the letter reads.

Adam’s political passion was brewing some four years ago when the dedicated conservative was just seven years old.

“I cried when John Howard was voted out. I was just so annoyed how the Labor Party promise a better future .. but do they ever deliver?” the 11 year old said minutes before the school bell rang yesterday morning.

Had there been more time, Adam would have launched in to his opinion on the carbon tax, Julia Gillard’s promises for the future and tips for the LNP to take back the government, instead he left it with a message for the LNP candidate for the seat of Whitsunday.

“Make sure our farmers keep the land they have been farming on for generations … don’t let the mill be sold to overseas interests and re-open the information centre!”
