He advised all Councillors that they had the right to make a submission, and encouraged them to do so. He deliberatley did not go for a group or council approach as he would, invariably, have been cast as a domineering influence on any outcome. If Councillors chose not to make a submission, that was, and remains their own issue.<BR/><BR/>The same goes for those whom you are promoting.<BR/><BR/>As for the boundaries, particularly that between Divisions 10 and 9, I have it on good authority that the Mayor's submission was in line with your preferred outcome. <BR/><BR/>As for changing the boundaries, that is not possible, have a look at the legislation.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps a little more attention to detail and factual presentation could go well for your blog in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-10621648749696280782007-09-21T12:43:00.000+10:002007-09-21T12:43:00.000+10:00The 'community of interest' criteria doesn't show ...The 'community of interest' criteria doesn't show up much at all and it seems to me that 10 divisions and councillors may be a couple too few?<BR/><BR/>To go back through previous Council blogs and the dominance of the block union vote on the transition committee can anyone confirm who is actually on this thing? The QCU rep stated in the statutory public notice (and this blog)is Ed Taylor who is apparently a CFMEU organiser from the Wide Bay area. But the actual minutes of the meeting published on the council website totally contradict this. They say the QCU rep is Frank Young, who is the CFMEU organiser for NQ. Frank, even has a proxy, a Stuey Traill,who was there as a observer. Frank even seems to have decided during the course of the meeting that he would swap and Stuey would be the member and he would be the proxy for that meeting. And then the minutes show that Frank, now an observer, voted on the subsequent agenda item! Huh?<BR/><BR/>The chairman, KB, is responsible under the transition guidelines for both the minutes and the public notice. The public notice is a statutory requirement to be published bt (Sept 9)and would appear to be legally invalid? <BR/><BR/>Question? Are there grounds to dismiss this committee on the basis on administrative incompetence? And just who the hell is the QCU rep???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
