State Member Danielle Green received disapproval from Wednesday’s public meeting when she took a political approach to questions.
She criticised Mayor Cr Ricky Kirkham and Liberal MLC Wendy Lovell.
Chairman Ps. Shane Legg had opened the meeting, saying that it was not to be about politics, or a criticism of the new Police Station at Mernda.
Ms Green listed the Mernda station as one of her achievements whilst in Parliament.
“We’re Whittlesea, not Mernda,” said one resident.
“We’re not interested in Mernda,” said another.
“Mernda, Mernda, Mernda, That’s all we’re hearing from you,” said a third.
Another resident criticised Ms Green for being late arriving at the meeting. She had been at a long-standing engagement at Kilmore.
Ms Green said that 400 people at a meeting was the best weapon she had at her disposal to make the point to other politicians that Whittlesea did not wish to see staffing levels diminished.
