Another Crack in the Wall

City of Stirling Acting CEO, Trevor Holland, makes some very important points, but as I pointed out in an earlier post here on 11th September, creating discord is what the Premier is about - so he can step in and impose his will in the name of preventing what what he has himself created.

Equally important, though, is the brief paragraph at the bottom of the piece in the Guardian Express. Mt Lawley, MLA, Michael Sutherland, has joined the ranks of Liberal MPs opposing parts of the grand plan to force local government splits and amalgamations - in this case, Michael has said he will support City of Stirling's proposal to retain Dianella, Menora, Mt Lawley and Inglewood - in other words, he'll oppose Col's intention to hive these off to Baywater/Bassendean.

With some opposing their own local details and others the fundamentally anti-democratic removal of the local electors' veto provision, it looks like Col has got a lot of spotfires to manage. Lets do all we can to make it a raging bushfire that will consume the Premier's ill-considered agenda for local government.
