The story reads a lot like an advertorial written in the "happy clappy land" where the 'twitesphere' that Trump revels in. That now seems to rule supreme and here in this piece. Who is paying what for this? Is anyone? It they are what are they buying?
If this wasn't a big enough worry the personality cultism that is starting to become more and more visible somehow does not sit well in Tasmanian local government where 'party politics' was once frowned upon in polite circles. Maybe, and sadly, for not much longer it seems.
Ald. Finlay won her first term as Mayor in 2002 pretty much adhering to convention and the rules even if she set new campaigning standards. She won but later on she hit a wall of criticism and then she lost. Ald. Janie says that she has learnt from all that but has she? Or, has the electorate?
So, they are off and running in the 2018 and it looks just a bit previous.Yet watching all this play itself out will be fascinating for some and worrying for others. With Tasmania's local government in the sorry state that it is, it'll be a fascinating ride. It is time to think a bit harder than before and think a bit more about the status quo.
