This, unfortunately most of the candidates were sprouting either state or federal issues as election platforms. This is why most councils struggle.

Nelmes platform though seems to be to spend, spend, spend. I can tell you after working in local government for 12 years that, that cash will come out of something or the council will have to borrow more.

Not my LGA though, so I will sit back with the popcorn and watch the hilarity as the basket case continues. Sad thing is, of all the platforms I heard, I am glad I wasn't voting in there as it all seemed to be rubbish from the lot. More badmouthing other candidates than pushing issues, straight from the Abbott Govt school of politics.
