Only a twit would say Zali Steggal has done nothing.
Only the govt can allocate monies to electorates and you can be certain Zali is doing the best anyone outside of the govt can do to secure outcomes for her constituents and the country generally.
Hairy of course likes such BS tweets targeting her because he has a swooning love for Abbott and the good folk of Warringah preferred to vote her in as an independent rather than the dinosaur failed PM. Typical Hairy targeting another woman when there are stacks of Liberal MPs behaving badly and many achieving stuff all for their electorates and they are part of the govt that has the power.
