Do I detect a whiff of desperation - not to mention defamation - in the statement that rates were paid "for services and not to have individuals go to court for their own reasons".
The only individual in the court action is myself - and I certainly don't get any money from rates. For the other parties, decisions were made by Councils after due process and not by individuals. It seems that Col doesn't appreciate the meaning of collective decision-making and collective responsibility - but I think we already knew that.
Barnett is also quoted as saying that ratepayers were "entitled" to be angry about using their money to go to courts - but not, apparently, entitled to be angry about being forced to fund amalgamations they don't want and that have not been demonstrated to have any benefits for them.
