The local press are all running letters about how "badly behaved" councillors at Marrickville have been. That is councillors not of the Labor 'Left' aka spineless careerist grandstanding troupe of control freaks and wannabees.
Big brouhahas are usually a case of arrogant ALP entitlement to corruptly Lord over anyone else who dares challenge their hegemony not least the rapidly organising Green Party.
Truck loads of dishonesty is usually their style until finally someone loses their cool and bites back. It's stock standard approach for the local ALP to retail emotional violence to fill their otherwise vaccuum of talent or policy initiative. Some of these folks are grifters and parasites. The sooner their nepotism and careerist view of social justice is exposed as jobs for their ALP brand girls and boys, rather than merit, the better off society will be.
This picture, tells a related story in the current debate with the local Greens. Taken at 7.45am on a cold cold Monday morning last week, it shows one street side next to Enmore park full of empty car spaces.
It must be the only place in Inner Sydney to not be parked out at that time of the day. The aging 25 metre pool complex is in the background. That suggests alot of unused potential for a 50m facility.
So why not build it in Tempe rather than Enmore where the other sports grounds are? Apparently the Greens reckon it seriously lacks public transport access from the rest of the Council area (read ratepayers), just off Princes Hwy, not far from Wolli Creek Station.
Mmm maybe. It's a spokes and circles kind of argument. It would mean going in and out of the CBD to get there. But we hold to the view for now its mostly about power struggle not merits.
If we understand right we did feel a little unconvinced reading the Indy mayor Thanos supporting the Enmore decision refer to only 35 x 35m of parkland being needed, compared to a 38,000 sqm park. That looks good but actually works out as actually about 1/40 of the parkland. That's a small but real bite of public passive recreational space.
All part of the balancing exercise no doubt, it's just a pity the ALP groupies and fanatics resort to baiting all the same. The last thing they really care about is green space even if the local neighbours do, oh no. It's power, crude and simple come the Local Council elections in September.
Which reminds us, have the local ALP deigned to advertise the GM position at the local Addison Rd Community Centre, after 9 months of waiting? Have any of the local press even reported this scandalous departure from honest governance? Or does favoured acolyte Yvette Andrews still have the job with no public advertising and interview process? ALP Left, as grubby as the rest.
