Where are the Liberals on this issue? Asleep at the wheel ... 😢

This is just some of rubbish on Sir Thomas Mitchell Rd #Bondi Beach. It had been there for three weeks, getting bigger by the day. Waverley Council needs to dramatically improve its handling of dumped rubbish and litter polluting our streets and our beach. #waronwaste

The weather is forecast to smile on us tomorrow. #banthebag 😀

Almost certainly now the election in September will be for an unmerged Waverley Council.

WITHDRAW NOW! A SOCC MEDIA EVENT in the Domain behind Parliament House, Sydney FRIDAY 12 MAY at 1pm. One year on from Baird’s disastrous attempt to destroy local democracy, communities are demanding the Berejiklian Government withdraw its forced mergers NOW. They have failed and the process is fatally flawed.

The future of Waverley: There will be an election on 9th September this year of either Waverley as a stand-alone Council or a merged Eastern Suburbs council. Which one now depends on the 12th May hearing of Woollahra Council's leave to appeal. The leave to appeal will be either allowed or dismissed. If it is allowed Waverey will not be merged for many months; enough to run into the September election un-merged. It is now likely that the recent Ku Ring Gai Council court judgement will have bearing on the outcome of the leave to appeal judgement. We should all know that the Liberal State cabinet secret KPMG report was pivotal in the Ku Ring Gai judgement. There was another element to the court’s decision that is solely relevant to Ku Ring Gai but KPMG applies to all the mergers. Importantly for us in Waverley, the court found that the Delegate failed to fulfil his statutory function under the statute absent the KPMG report (at point 4) and that Ku Ring Gai council was denied procedural fairness (at point 5) because it was denied access to the KPMG report. A lot now hangs off the Woollahra decision on or soon after 12 May. John Wakefield

... and Abbott lives on. Malcolm Turnbull you are a great disappointment.
