NISSEN HOUSING AND THE STEEL ARCH

VIDEO ... PLAYING MERRY HELL... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eIOuXtSnDw
“Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'” is a famous quip by Ronald Reagan criticising existing political and social conditions. Reagan used the line to mock the current state of affairs and advocate for bold, conservative change rather than preserving the existing way government operated. It aligns with Regan's core belief that big government and entrenched bureaucracy were the sources of society's problems rather than the solutions. Looking at the "mess" that politicians, and especially their 'functionaries, have made in regard housing and homelessness, it is time to "play  merry hell with the status quo". 
At a Local Govt level accountability and transparency must be what elected representatives MUST pay very close attention to. The STATUS QUO is unsustainable and it is NO JOKE that those who work so hard to maintain itare asv sucessful as they have been!
The blatant self-serving prejudices in play in regard STEEL ARCH HOMES should be indictable and the perpetrators need to be shamed and shunned given the misery thev cause what they call the UNDER CLASS to suffer at their whim.

DELEGATED AUTHORITIES IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE

 

PLEASE KNOW The link by which one might download the 70plus pages of DELEGATED AUTHORITIES was not functional at 2pm Tuesday Sept 15 or at 11.08 am Sept 16 or Thursday Sept 17 at 9.30 pm 2026 and Council Reception indicated that in due course the dysfunction would be attended to. Otherwise ratepayers and intending candidates can attend Town Hall and ask for a hardcopy  of the 76 pages in order that they can be better informed about just what  authority an elected elected representative has to exercise their democratic right as an elected representative in their governance role. Similarly they can be informed about what their representatives are unable to do or initiate on their behalf.


THAT WOULD BE AN INCREMENTAL STEP FORWARD
TOWARDS DIRECT DELIBERATIVE GOVERNANCE
IN THE STATE OF TASMANIA. GOVERNANCE
NEEDS TO GOVERN AND MANAGEMENT
NEEDS TO DELIVER AND
CONSTITUENTS NEED TO
BE SERVED GIVEN THAT
THEY PAY TO BE!!
