Mayor Thorley - what we pay her to tell us to drink recycled sewage ...
Based on the 2004/5 Toowoomba City Council Annual Report:
Base salary: $106,270.00
Plus
- Car (both Thorley and Ramia receive a car as a component of their position and they are not subject to a leaseback arrangement through a pre-tax payroll deduction scheme like some other councillors). The Mayor's car is provided for work purposes and "unrestricted private use with all operating costs (including fuel) met by Council".
- Superannuation contributions: $12,752.40
- Expenses for attendance at Council related business: $34,433.37
- Telephone and insurance: $5,615.25
Total: $159,071.02 plus the car.
This may not include all trips both within Australia and overseas relating to her promotion of the recycled sewage industry for the recycling companies (airfares, accommodation, fares and food).
Also, the expense amount would have increased substantially for 2005/6 as the Mayor has significantly increased her recycling company promotion duties.
Do you think we are getting value for money?
$159,000 (and change) plus car for someone to tell you that "if you don't like it, you can buy bottled water" ...

We need to see the expense incurred by Thorley while she have travelled to promote the reclaimed water to Australia. In these visits she continually told the people that she had 70% of the people on side. She has deliberately told lies and she will go. The sooner the better.

Certainly not good value for money. Time to go!

See how much money she has to buy bottled water when she is on the dole. (shame she has so much of our money stashed)
How did this women get so out of control. It's like watching a train wreck about to happen.

You must be kidding, how does Thorley get away with it ?
I had no idea she was raking us off to this degree. I remember her obscene wage rise and purks package but it's growing like a cancer.
No wonder our rates keep reaching for new hights. No wonder parking fees keep expanding to feed her out of control ego. Thorley has got to go. Can't we petition the State Gov. tp sack this entire council?

It's in the Annual Report, a public document on the Council's website.
