Now to hunt the positives!

Community members across the Shoalhaven have contributed to the unearthing of evidence of manners and style of local government which are at best a joke, at worst deserving of investigation by relevant authorities and general condemnation.

The time has come, in 2008, for candidates to come forward to make a change. There is only one reason why we cannot get an entirely different council, meeting in civil ways, in community places, doing business sensibly, consistently, based on advice from professional officers treated with respect. 

That single reason is apathy, whether anyone cares. 

No sensible person would want to join the present scrum. The elected Council has to be changed fundamentally, in the direction of decency, civility, transparency and integrity. We have only a short time to get there. I have not declared my candidacy at this point, there is no point in my trying to do this without others committed.
