I actually attended the meeting today, quite a shocking experience. Glyn talks about transparency and that the public heard what each Councillor had to say. With that he was referring to the section of the meeting when he opened the forum for debate. The "debate" was each Councillor clearly reading a prepared statement from their notes. There was no discussion, not even on points made by Councillors who clearly missed the point for the basis of the motion. And after 20 minutes the meeting wrapped up. This was a scripted exercise with a foregone conclusion. If that's how Council debate agenda items and come to decisions, we really need to put a stop to this prior to the election.
But the public was NOT allowed to speak. Why is the Mayor so scared of hearing the public - on this matter and on the Fast Track proposals? There’s no trust left in a council that bans its public from speaking to council.
what a bunch of crooks in QLDC council! this is the biggest joke and the fact Niki is being dumped for speaking out for everyone below the sewage dump is outrageous! Niki is acting on behalf of the public and should be congratulated and shown respect for making this public info. I hope everyone who lives below this and now has filth water in their once swimmable rivers and lakes takes a staunch fight back. why not have this pumped and spread over the public parks and school grounds? good enough for the river then it must be good enough for the QLDC back yards.
What a disgrace QLDC the 8 who voted against need to be name and shamed as you were voted in to speak for the people yet you do the opposite, expect to be spat on and the shit you pump into our rivers to be shat back on your lawn until it flows through your windows as this is what you deserve. Expect the above and more when the people find out and fight back

The rate payers are by far the largest stake holders therefore we should be in the loop 100%
