Mayor Thorley cancels trip to Adelaide to inspect flag pole ...
More wasted ratepayers' money.
This time, a trip to Adelaide on 4 November 2006 for the city's Credit Union Christmas Pageant.
You know Council employees preparing the relevant Committee meeting agenda and minutes are really scratching for reasons to justify the trip and the waste of ratepayers' money when they come up with the following as one reason for the trip:
"A visit to Adelaide will also offer an opportunity to inspect their 100-foot high centenary flag-post ... implemented to generate economic benefits to the region."
See - Council Committee Meeting agenda and minutes - 17 and 18 October 2006.
Who are you kidding? Flying across the country to see a flag pole?! Ridiculous.
Perhaps Mayor Thorley thought so too. After being listed in the Committee Meeting agenda as flying to Adelaide with Councillor Schneider, in the Committee Meeting minutes, she's leaving it to Councillor Schneider to fly solo ...

I would like to know why the staff could not go alone as Councillor Schneider is not the brightest person on this council and she would only quote from the report they would give.
I think I heard that she had a family there and she would tie in a visit while we pay for her to go on this important fact finding mission.
Thorley may stay home more because she would have to watch Manners now!

She would however nod her head in agreement at everything they say.
