I also agree that the councillors have a puffed up self opinion if they think they have an automatic right to try for the Deputy position. Just because every council in Sydney's history has done it that way doesn't mean they were right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838969.post-1159497122614836802006-09-29T12:32:00.000+10:002006-09-29T12:32:00.000+10:00I think Verity Firth might have been a bit preoccu...I think Verity Firth might have been a bit preoccupied with giving birth and as it rhymes so nicely it's churlish to begrudge her.

Verity Firth only attended 8 out of 14 functions/events she was meant to = indolence.<BR/> In this city the Lord Mayor is is democratically and, more importantly, independently elected. So she can choose her deputy: the law is the law.<BR/> The histrionics by Shayne Mallard, who can't spell, and the others [Labor] miss this fundamental point.<BR/> And all this from the same Labor Party who sacked our last council in an blatant political manouvre that backfired, and who crashed together our old South Sydney Council, that bunch of no-hopers, with the City Council - all done, without any sense of democracy at all.<BR/> Hopefully Mallard and his cronies hey will stay in the political wilderness for another three years at local council level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838969.post-1159136739896016822006-09-25T08:25:00.000+10:002006-09-25T08:25:00.000+10:00Yes, Elaine, I am a member of The Greens and if I'...Yes, Elaine, I am a member of The Greens and if I'd kept it secret you wouldn't know about it I guess. I am always suspicious of your type of argument though because it is used by people who cannot argue the logic of the actual debate and have to attack the debater instead. Clover and ESNA (East Sydney Neighbourhood Assoc.) do it all the time. <BR/><BR/>At least I reveal who I am, unlike you... and what are your affiliations?
