Queanbeyan City Council smear campaign

The_Phantom said “Personally I hate party-politics rearing its ugly head in local government.”

So Phantom, now that (at least) one of your ‘independents’ has now been outed as a member of the National Party, do you still “hate party-politics rearing its ugly head in local government” or are you happy with the fraud that saw Barilaro elected as an ‘independent’?

I’m not surprised that Mavec would resort to smearing his competitors. I remember him as a mediocre teacher at QHS in the late 70s/early 80s who spent a lot of the lesson time trying to indoctrinate the class. He’s always been a ALP hack since he came out to Australia from the US.

Regarding Cr Overall, I received a pamphlet in my letterbox that detailed a number of his priorities for Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra, one including investigating ways of integrating cycleways with the ACT network. I rang him about this and he came and met me on a Saturday afternoon and I took him around Jerra and Letchworth, pointing out where some short paths could create a good cycle route for Jerra cyclists to get to Canberra Ave at Harman without riding on the major roads. I appreciated him taking the time to discuss the issue with me.

Crikey, given that even Adza, who made the claim, admits the ‘broke’ tag is inappropriate, I’ll let my comment stand.

Aurelius must be a Labor Party apologist if he doesn’t recognised that NSW is “broke” and that Steve Whan as a Member of the NSW Labor Party has some responsibility for that.

I am sure the people of NSW will reflect their displeasure with the Labor Party and lazy members such as Steve Whan at the next election

And NSW is not broke.

Really?

In the scheme of things, broke is probably not the best word, but NSW is not in the best economic situation.

“his government have sent NSW broke”?

He’s only a backbencher, so blame hardly rests with him. And NSW is not broke.
It’d help whatever barrow you’re trying to push if your post reflected something vaguely associated with reality.

I think you’ll find it’s happening in a lot of places… not just Queanbeyan.

Political advertising leading up to elections seem to me more about discrediting the “other guy” rather than promoting yourself.
