Though it may be puzzling to some, I am heartened to see that some of the candidates for the upcoming local government elections are able to find common ground and agree on a potential working relationship.
It’s a pity they were attacked from both sides of the political spectrum by existing Councillors, no doubt concerned about their own re-election rather than about what can be achieved for our community by a cohesive and competent Council.
After five years of inaction and infighting, it is about time we had a Council that is collaborative and capable of putting people before politics.

WHATEVER YOU DO DON’T PREFEEENCE PUGH
In the last Council Labor Councilors Spooner and Hackett voted with the Right wing National Party’s Hunter. They voted pro-development and anti-environment. Pugh will only answer to the Sydney Labor Party and not to the voters of the Shire. Pugh will get more first preferences in the Mayoral race passing Lyon and Swivel but needs their preferences to win Mayor. If you don’t want Labor leave Pugh out of your preferences.
