Several events were unique at tonight’s council meeting.

  • Esakoff did not utter a word
  • Lobo was absent with no mention by Burke of an apology or failure to give an apology as required
  • The minutes of the CEO Contractual committee meeting minutes VOTED UPON we presume, were not included in the agenda items even as a ‘late addition’.
  • The sale of McKittrick St went through without a single reference by anyone that a potential developer was acquiring public land for a piddling $20,000 on land valued at $66,700
  • Souness and Pilling moved an amendment requesting more information on the Centenary Rd car park and loss of open space. This was defeated by all other councillors and the original recommendation accepted unanimously.
  • Racecourse item involved much chest beating. No councillor trustee declared a conflict of interest.
  • Public questions were abysmally answered as per usual.
  • Lipshutz’s inconsistency in argument is definitely worthy of a place in the Guinness Book of World Records

We will provide full commentary on the above in the days ahead.
