There's a lot of misrepresenting the truth going on. I exposed the fact the we have a serious problem with the council. I presented my case to the Councillors earlier in the month - I gave a fact base account of what was going on under our noses. 4 of the Councillors took note and made attempts to investigate the issue further. 4 of the other Councillors and the Mayor looked away and pretended there wasn't a problem and voted against their own colleagues. Subsequently, the Mayor and the WDC CEO came out in the Advocate (15/12/17) and doubled down. I have since read up on the newest RC application from Apollo re their Tram Rd accesses plan - and it is a threat to public safety (read the safety report). This new plan (which is non-compliant with current zoning laws) is looking to be forced upon the community without public consultation - despite the fact it has an environmental impact (Apollo's SAT even had the cheek to ask that rate payers to help fund it).

Yet, there are those still peddling the idea that there is some sort of conspiracy to thwart the Apollo's plan for setting up a retail centre - despite the fact that it has already been built and due to open in a month - and that many of us will be supporting the tenants!?!

Why is this? Why the deliberate confusion - 'deflection' is not a valid debating technique.
