Today is a kind of little anniversary – we have been live, online for exactly three months. So once again we would like to thank all our readers for their support and the countless emails of encouragement and endorsement for what we are trying to achieve – a genuine forum for discussion and debate. No spin, no dodging uncomfortable issues, no grandstanding. We’ll let the facts speak for themselves.
Reviewing our blog stats we see that our ‘popularity’ has gone through the roof – even garnering a mention in today’s Glen Eira Leader! These are the stats for the past 3 months:
July – 1,225 hits
August – 3,943 hits
September – 6,617 (and the month still has a couple of days to go!)
We are thrilled with these results because they show that residents do care about their community and do want an avenue which affords them expression. Spread the word folks – let’s together make this the people’s voice of Glen Eira.

Congratulations Glen Eira Debates. Something like this is long overdue here. I never even bother these days to read the Glen Eira news because I know that all it contains is self congratulations as to what a wonderful job council is doing. What I want is a critical lens that explores and explains the real issues that we (residents) never get to have a say on. Keep up the great work.

well done. I appreciate the work that must go into tracking down and collating all your information. Even if I don’t agree with every single word you’ve put up so far, it has always been worth reading.
