The 'democratic' process in this clowncil, and its residents, have once again been screwed - but properly this time. Appearing in today's Age is a tender advertisement for a contractor for the Acquatic centre. We have repeatedly been told that council has not yet decided whether this will go ahead, whether 50 odd million dollars will be spent and our rates increase continually. So why this advertisement? Has clowncil learnt that it has now got the 10 million dollar grant? Even if they do know this, then the decision to advertise for contractors must still be passed by a full council meeting?
Also worthy of mention is the fact that the tender ads include the date 2007 and 2008 - in other words DECISIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE!! Councillors, the public, are superfluous. This is merely another example of how this clowncil operates. It is all done with smoke and mirrors and behind closed doors. Governance is dead - long live democratic processes in other councils.
