REALITY CHECKS FOR COUNCILS: It is time!

Look all this rubbish going on at Huon Council tells you that mountains can indeed be made out of molehills. Imbeciles need to called for what they are IMBECILES! All this so called polite nonsense gets us nowhere in the end. It is a fact that we need to call things for what they are and get over it.

The interesting thing about Huon Council is that it lost a General Manager who was able to control his councillors. Whatever his methods were it is time someone started running seminars on how to do that. That's called in service training. Interestingly, there is a GM up there in the north, if the reports are right, who has his aldermen eating out of his hand. The Mayor may be out there having his picture taken here and there but the GM is doing all the real stuff and keeping the aldermen at heal.

Another council, George Town, knows how to take charge of a situation. They are publishing members' profiles and in time they will have their constituents on side and accepting all their decisions without any problems.

But back to Huon Council. We need smarty pants like Bob Hawkins pointing out this and that every time some minor issue arises with council works ... well we need them like a hole in the head.  Bob and his like need to get out of the way and let things happen. It is Bob's like who are all mouth and NO action and if they were to attempt to do what they say councils get wrong, well they would stuff up big time.

Picking up on George Town's initiative we would welcome some Tasmanian Councillors' and Aldermen's profiles and especially profiles pointing out all the good work they do. That also goes for council officers who all too often get it in the neck for doing good work. Let's expose all those good folk who get a bad rap!
