It seems that this survey is being promoted by that happy band of Tasmanian Council bashers and they are encouraging anyone with a temperature and a pulse, and who will listen to them, to say something really negative about their local council. The word around town is that they are taking a lot of time with people in their networks and tutoring them in "how to complete the survey in negative and credible way".
They are promising that if enough "evidence can be gathered" these people who normally do not do this sort of thing can get back at a council person who made life difficult for them. Some are even saying they might be able to get them sacked. There are even people gathering material to put to that toothless bunch at the Integrity Commission. A silly idea but it tells you something.
It is just too bad that these people are trying to corrupt this process and put local government in Tasmania under threat. The only way to deal with all this is to meet these people head on and play them at their own game. We need to protect council jobs and do so complete with all side benefits that it has been possible to put together over the years.
It is not only operational staff who will be under threat here it will also be councillors and aldermen. Therefore, in their own interest, everyone should participate in the Role of Local Government (RoLG) project. To do so complete the survey via this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VYHCCHT
