Local Government Minister, Tony Simpson, 'did not respond to inquiries' relating to the clear opposition to his and Col Pot's forced amalgamation 'proposals'. Yet he can hardly claim that the responses were unexpected as all of the individual Council responses (or non-responses) have been clearly flagged for some time and, unlike the Government's proposals, have been agreed to in public forums (ie Council meetings).
Little wonder, then, that many local governments (not to mention many of us in the community) have 'lost faith in the process'.
Perhaps he just hopes our loss of faith is so great that if he ignores us we will go away. Well, I've got news for you and your boss, Tony - we're not going away until you consign this poxy pseudo-policy to the dustbin of history where it belongs.
