Voted

I received my ballot paper today Friday 24 September.

I have voted for Adele Carles, although she literally slept with the enemy.  However, I think the only real alternative – Hannah Fitzhardinge – represents development at any cost.

I remember that the very first thing Hannah voted for in Council was to make into some kind of tavern the weighbridge in the centre of a traffic island also crossed by a railway line.  She also supported the crazy idea of a brewery in J Shed.  And big concrete boxes for film studios on South Wharf.

Reckless development is not an intelligent way forward—and does not give any attention to the needs of people in the community.

Looking at the positive: isn’t it good that the three only real contenders for the job of mayor are women?
