KI Council is in a state of dysfunction — Shearman, Elizabeth, 2012.05.21

Anyone who isn’t aware by now that the KI Council is in a state of dysfunction must be off with the pixies.

The current situation in which 3 elected members are being attacked and marginalised by the rest is patently non-tenable. [Note from the webmaster: these are councillors Ken Liu, Graham Walkom and Rosalie Chirgwin]

The empire building continues apace, the debt continues to climb exponentially, the rates grow above the CPI  every year – for very little discernable return to the poor ratepayer, and the culture of cover-up and confuse continues to blossom.

Many of us ratepayers (apparently not the renters in the top echelons of council administration) have had more than enough of this.

It is time for an administrator to be appointed to deal with the mess.

If you want something better than the status quo – write to :

Minister for Industrial Relations and State and Local Government Relations

  1. There must be disease going around. If you have time check out the Wakefield Regional Council Audit Report 6th June 2012 and the External Auditor’s report from page 45+. You’re not alone.
    We have the same problem, the old crew set in thier ways, accepting what’s being put in front of them (don’t know wheat from straw), and the new Councillors who actually do what they were elected for and are asking genuine questions to ensure accountability and transparency.
