Local Elections
Yesterday I saw an election billboard put up by Angela Oleary who is standing for Mayor in the upcoming council elections.
It has a statement on it "No more dodgy deals".
What are these "Dodgy Deals" she is referring to?
Why is she bringing this up now? She has been on the council since forever and hasn't bought the matter to anyone's attention before that I have seen.
If "Dodgy deals" were being done in the past then, as a Councillor, it was her place to make people aware of them or she is complicit in those "Dodgy deals".
Doesn't say much for what she would be like as our Mayor does it?

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.2% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
