I can see you are pretty emotional about the whole thing Jasmine, and I don’t blame you, especially after doing a bit of research and finding out that the land they want to swap is right across the road from the existing park. Why the hell don’t they build the development there and leave the park alone?

I’m sorry, but something is not quite right, and it looks to me as if they are involved in something fishy.

Jasmine, I suppose you are referring to the fact that a majority of the council members are also members of the Labor party. It does sort of make you wonder doesn’t it?

I don’t trust these CEO’s, especially if they get paid on a performance basis, and some of them get paid way too much for my liking. Perhaps if they paid their CEO’s less we would get more for our council rates.

Anyway, back to the point in hand. They will twist stats any which way they can to prove their point, but it doesn’t necessarily make it right. The fact that there is such an uproar over this should show them they’ve got it wrong and they should back down. The fact that they are sticking to their guns show they have their own agenda and don’t give a crap about their rate payers or what they want.

Charles Sturt Council CEO Mark Withers says “We got a lot of positive feedback about some of the proposals. We also have a number of the big agencies in the area, like the school for example, the high school has 1,100 kids and they’re right adjacent to this space and they use it and they’re in support of it,” he said.

Well, I would like to know that when CEO Mark Withers said “…a lot of positive feedback about some of the proposals”. Did he translate feedback to their signatures OR “…1,100 high school kids” Did he mean year 8,9,10,11 and 12 and their signatures to give him the right to swap our good land to toxic land.

Ain’t that the truth, although having said that there are some very good public officials. Too bad that they are few and far between.

Ain’t that just typical of elected officials the world over – the only time they want anything to do with you is when they’re after your vote. Try getting to see them the day after the election! “Sorry buddy, you’ll have to wait til the next election…”

Democracy, my **s.
