COMMENT
- ‘achieving maximum protection’ means keeping the community out of ‘consultation’ whilst hobnobbing it with Matthew Guy and signing away resident objection rights for the Caulfield Village!
- ‘Maintaining the pensioner rebate’ – NO! lowering council’s contribution so that pensioners pay more out of their pockets – ie government subsidies have increased, whilst Glen Eira’s have decreased ($58 last budget and $55 this budget).
- ‘Oppose development and fight congestion’ – that’s why Hyams has voted for so many developments and voted against immediate car parking/traffic analyses
- ‘Improve safety in shopping strips’ – again, why he’s voted against CCTV cameras & alcohol free zones in Bentleigh
- ‘environmental initiatives’ – that’s why the ‘no’ vote for a significant tree register, time and time again?
Conclusion? Ask yourselves how much this individual has contributed to council wasting hundreds of thousands of ratepayer dollars on lawyers? Ask yourselves how well this councillor has served for the benefit of all residents – ie Frogmore? Ask yourselves how much this councillor has contributed to the erosion of transparent government in Glen Eira when he has voted time and again against Notice of Motion and recently turning the public questions protocols into a farce? Last but not least, we have the ‘guns in park’ fiasco and of course his temper tantrums and foul language.

Agree. Progress means his exit.

Not a sign of his hallmark cheap blue suit in his propaganda leaflet

Shocking record on involving the community and keeping everything secret. A liability that is costing too much.

Past the use by date. Dysfunctional should be his middle name.

Danby called them the arch conservatives. They are worse than conservative because conservatives at least hope to preserve some past good. These councillors have made things ten times worse for residents in terms of openness and accountable governance. Their backroom manoeuvring and machinations has meant that residents are treated like an alien species to be excluded wherever possible.

As big brother would say ‘Jamie it is time to go’ or you are risking your career if any.

Mr Hayms will hang it there, he only has to fool a quota of resident to attached himself to the taxpayer nipple for another term. He hasn’t finished with you guys yet. He’s a very angry man with lots more punishing to do, his contempt for residents is bottomless and his methods plentiful.

Has no interest in community representation, clearly motivated by other factors. Vote him out.

Absolutely incredible!!!
In one fell swoop, less than one year after making these 2012 election utterances on over development, zones and community consultation Jamie did a major dump on these promises by implementing the zones in 2013 and still continues to dump on them.
And that’s not all, interspersed over the past four years, Jamie has consistently voted against residents on a huge number of significant issues.
Who can forget
. Appalling governance practices, failure to follow the local law
. Heritage – Caulfield Park Conservatory and Frogmore
. Acquisition of Open Space (1 house lot)
. Guns in Parks
. Virginia Park massive over development (4,600+ dwellings)
. Caulfield Village Development Plan (2,500 – 3,000 dwellings)
. Disgusting behaviour to residents (Bitchgate) and colleagues (F*wit) resulting in a significant cost to residents
I’m sure there are more – bloggers should feel free to add to the above list.

Not much can be said in favour of Hyams. His comments over the years are contradictory as shown on the blog a number of times. What he should always be remembered for is his support for all the resolutions which went against the community like Frogmore and the tree register. I’m also dismayed over guns in the park and his continual reliance on the racist card. Because someone doesn’t agree with him doesn’t make them a racist. That’s a democracy. Something he doesn’t acknowledge because it would threaten his little empire on council.

It’s being anti semitic not racist, Hyams is a pseudo secular candidate.
His main goal on council is to support initiatives that come from his Jewish community.
Which I have no problem with.
He just should be upfront with his personal ambitions and what he is trying to achieve for Glen Eira
August 26, 2016 at 4:28 PM
Jamie little boy, hasn’t got the courage to be upfront on who he is and what he is up to, he prefers the backdoor method every time and tries to covers his tracks with secrecy eg.
Guns in Parks
Illegally trying to sublease the McKinnons bowls clubs to a two dollar self-company.
Frogmore Estate he wouldn’t let the results of a heritage review be finalised
Caulfield Park Pavilion and oval realignment
Wanted Booran Rd park redevelopment to handed over for the exclusive use of a soccer club
All of the above were backdoor attempt to subvert normal procedures, I’ve lost track of his favourisms
