Elections Local Government 2008
"Residents Cried Out For Change, and they got it??". The New Councillors
Fresh blood demanded, attained I believe this not to be accurate as 4 Councillors did not run for a position on Council and obviously had to be replaced. Of the six Councillors that stood for re-election, four were returned and only two were replaced. The only fresh blood demanded of the
incumbent
Councillors running for re-election appears to be Andrew Isaac and Janelle McIntosh
The Quarry .....
- August 7th 06 The Advocate's night of questions to Council was conducted well, approx. 1% of the shire turned out to listen to questions from the residents and the answers from Council. Virginia Trioli from ABC Radio 702 did an excellent job as moderator and kept the meeting in order. The Mayor with the aide of the Deputy Mayor and support of the Councillors, answered all the questions.
- It is interesting to note a comment in the paper why the councillors where not answering questions at previous meetings instead of the General Manager, well we gave him the night off, Councillors only, and what do we get?? criticism for not having the GM there, some people will never be satisfied
- 14 preset questions were given to the Council by the Advocate and were to be asked on the night, to see these Q and A's click on the link above.
One quick comment about Mr Robinson and the time he takes to complete his tasks. He leaves no stone unturned in his research, and that takes time, I find his reporting to Council very thorough, although the wait is sometime annoying, it is well worth the wait. |
