We were wrong. Jeff Kennett is not a candidate for Lord Mayor of Melbourne. Diane Anderson therefore will not be his campaign director.
We do have news about Boroondara. The BRAG have claimed a political party will be running candidates and three dummies in each ward. Really.
Which party? Didn't BRAG say that there were currently no political parties in Boroondara?
We don't take BRAG seriously and neither should anyone else. BRAG live in the clouds.
Political party members WILL contest the forthcoming Boroondara Council elections. Nothing is more certain. To say otherwise is nonsense.
We oppose political parties endorsing candidates in local government. BRAG obviously think they should.
No Mary and Jack. We don't want party politics in Boroondara. You obviously do by your talking up to the various Liberal Party factions who WILL be active this November whether we like it or not. We don't think many ALP members will stand. BRAG will expose them if they do. We think that's hypocritical. BRAG should oppose ALL political party member candidates. Like Liberal Party Kroger faction member Meredith Butler who represents her Glenferrie Ward from Canberra.
Weren't BRAG saying Keep Local Government Local in the recent representation review?
Obviously that doesn't apply to Meredith Butler.
