I have kept silent for many years, watching what I consider to be a self-indulgent council, led by former lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes and Cr Declan Clausen, ride roughshod over this city.
At last, Ross Kerridge, a previous member of the Labor party who had worked out how this city had been led, was elected. Dr Kerridge stood on a platform that made commonsense to me, but I was always afraid that he would never get the numbers. The past few days have proven that, as he has been crushed by Labor and the Greens.
