Rats
in the Ranks: Australian Council's Run Amuck, by Greg
Tingle
Greg
"Media Man" Tingle will remove the smirks!
What do you hate about your
local council?
That
indeed is the question as "big brother"
continues to creep further to your front door.
Would
you gladly pay $152 to park in your very own street?!
Local
councils have long been the scourge of Australian
society.
It's
easy to argue that the bad rap they have been given
is well deserved.
They
are at time a hive for corruption of the highest level.
In
the past few years many NSW councils have been put
under the microscope due to leaks of corruption and
misappropriation of funds, tax payers funding private
interests of directors, mates rates, big fat contracts
being feeded off to mates of the "in crew"
and the list goes on.
Let's
look at a few basic examples:
Canterbury
City Council:
Massive water sewer problems, heath concerns
Randwick
City Council:
Flagged
For Development! How much did those post code
flags cost?
Oasis In the East - Maroubra Bay Hotel pollution
Maroubra and Malabah Sewer Beach!
Corrupt Officials
Leichhardt
City Council:
Brown Bombers - Brown Nosing some businesses and residents
- booking Community TV guests and presenters on TV
taping night
Corrupt officials
Lack of parking in Streets such as Waterview Street,
Balmain. No other option than to park "illegally"
South
Sydney Council:
Where's that boarder supposed to run?
Massive Crime Levels
The
inspiration for this basic piece came from seeing
misjustice first hand whilst living at both Maroubra
Beach and Balmain.
Would
you believe that just 1 week after moving to Balmain
I received a parking ticket infringement from parking
outside my place, as one night there was no parking
left in my street, so I parked on a corner, and when
I went to move my car the next day I have the long
yellow envelope attached to the car. (I am writing
to complain, and let them know what the situation
is, and that if they don't do the right thing it will
cost them dearly).
These
so called councils attacking the community at their
front door, in urban sprawled community environments!
$152 to park at your residence. Stick it where the
sun don't shine you bastards!
I
look forward to meeting these scum of Leichhardt council
and telling them face to face what cowards and poor
excesses for human beings they are.
Sorry
guys, I won't be buying your Australian Local Government
Guide for $495 or more. Blood suckers!
Do
you have a grievance with your local council? Tell
us, and we will together bring down these scum
of society.
Rats
in the ranks is right. Oh, hire the documentary on
video today.
Something
tells us that there are a few more rats yet to exterminate,
but we now have the weapons!
