While I am pleased to have received some very warm support, I believe that the initiative to create a new standard of governance in the Shoalhaven rests with the conservative side. The Shoalhaven has an established reputation as a conservative electorate at the Federal and State levels and the Mayor's 'Shoalhaven Independents' are clearly identified, including among the supporting workers on polling day, with the Liberals.
So the question arises: what do the leading Liberals think of our council situation? Do they support or repudiate? I have taken an initiative today to seek clarification.
