Clowncil's website abomination!

Glen Eira Clowncil runs a multimillion dollar operation each year! It relies on accurate information, accurate audits, and providing accurate information to its residents. So how come its website is so abysmal? How much does its webmaster earn? Or being a suspicious bastard, I believe in conspiracy theories and that the lack of real information on its website is deliberate and calculated to keep its citizenry ignorant.

However, there are certain components of which are fundamental and cannot be put into this realm of deliberate obfuscation. I invite people to go to clowncil's home page and then click on the 'A-Z Index' on the left hand bottom part of the page. There you will find the following amazing scenes -

1. 'E' comes before 'A'. (Clowncil is now reshaping our alphabet!!)
2. 'Enrolling to vote' comes before numbers
3. obviously the webmaster has no numeracy skills since the run of 'annual reports' is not consecutive, but split by numerous other items - ie. so the 2003-4 report is not followed by 2004-2005 report.
4. there are several links to the same report.

I could go on and on - but this is simply unforgiveable and atrocious. We're paying good money for a professional outfit. What this website represents is a total waste of money!!

Oh and if you're looking for uptodate and relevant policy documents you simply won't find them! What you will find are 'quarterly reports' from 2004 and nothing since.

Information is really given short shrift - but of course that's what they want!! Keep the bastards ignorant!
