APT is non-party political; as a group we could be described as a 'pretty mixed bunch'.
Over the years many APT members have written to or popped along to see several of our politicians.
So how many politicians have fulfilled the expectations that APTSec has had of them? Well, that would of course be telling and is between me and my mark on the ballot paper. But, what I can reveal is what ticks the box for me as far as a politician is concerned:
My top 5 wants:
1 Someone who listens carefully whilst digesting and understanding the often complicated and detailed issues put before them
2 Someone who demonstrates that they are clearly interested in the community that they serve - not just spouting platitudes or using us for a photo opportunity as a means of rampant self promotion.
3 Someone who is astute and savvy
4 Someone who has the political clout to be able to act on principle and be respected for it
5 Someone who sees questioning and evaluating their own actions as a strength rather than a weakness
