Dear Readers,

I have just recently finished writing to all the State MP’s, some 93 in total, as per the information below. I hope it will have some effect, and after the elections I will then ask the elected Premier to take action.

Regards Keith

Dear (MP’s Name)

I write to you in regard to the forthcoming State Election.

I ask, if you are re-elected as an MP, could you please act to ensure that the elected governing body takes responsibility for how it spends tax payer monies.

For the last 8 years I have ran an online petition on Change.org called Tell the RSPCA NSW that this is cruel! This petition was in protest against the RSPCA NSW failing to properly investigate the awful treatment that approximately 200 cats suffered at the hands of our neighbour when we lived in Cowra. The RSPCA receives $8 million dollars per year from the Government, and unfortunately the Government has consistently refused to investigate the issues that I brought to their attention.

When I first brought the cruelty situation to the attention of the RSPCA they just told me that `there were no welfare issues’, despite having been provided with many photos to prove that there were many welfare issues. The RSPCA even stated that to my State MP, Katrina Hodgkinson, and to tell such an untruth to my then state representative is reprehensible.

So once again I ask that you do not just stand idly by and let the governing party spend monies without any accountability for those monies. That occurred under the previous Premier and was a national disgrace.

In conclusion I would add that the RSPCA NSW is a public company, in contrast to the other RSPCA’s throughout Australia, which are charities. If the RSPCA NSW is indifferent to animal suffering and chooses not to take action in preventing cruelty issues that is their decision, however for taxpayer monies to be donated to that organisation, and not to ask that organisation for an explanation is wrong, and could raise the possibility of corruption in government.

If there is any doubt about the points I have brought to your attention please do not hesitate to email me.

Yours Truly

Keith Climpson
