Local Government

Living in Brisbane we have a unique Council that controls a area bigger than some countries.

We all elect the Lord Mayor of the City by popular vote

Yet we are being torn apart by petty party politics and we have a council that seems for intent on gaining as much points as possible. We have an opposition that will oppose everything for just the sake of it.

In my humble opinion it is pathetic Local Government is design to work on the local issues of parks, footpaths, garbage ,water and sewerage. Not the crap that they are going on with at the moment arguing about car parks in units and to decease the cars in suburban streets.

Both sides of the council agree that there is a problem and that it should be fixed , well instead of working together and fixing the problem they are out there arguing who didn't the right thing years ago .

Well I have news for you Councillors just fix the problem ,maybe even work together for the good of the ratepayers and achieve something worth while, we really don't care who didn't do what 10 years ago ,what we care about is now and who fixed the problem.

Brisbane was flooded a while ago and the Council did a good job working together in that time of trouble lets see if they can continue that in fair weather.

Just all remember that there is an election in less than 12 months and the people are getting tired of all the Bullshit and political speak they what to see action and results.

Remember we are watching.
