I haven’t been posting Council threads since the election because to be honest it’s been so exhausting after the disastrous result of the election. But the last couple of weeks I’ve popped it on for a few minutes here and there, including right now.
Cr Wines is currently standing up in front of the Council and saying that he thinks polling booths were deliberately understaffed at the Council election as a tactic to make voters think “oh, the current incumbents are useless, I’m sick of waiting, we better vote them out.” His evidence for this claim? In his Ward, only in one booth did he not come first, and he said he saw long lines at that booth.
I’m not sure if it would be actionable at all, or how to go about it, but those comments really feel to me like they ought to be referred to the Office of the Independant Assessor.
So refer them.
Same guy who talks about woke greenies attacking his “way of life”. The more I hear from that guy the less respect I have for him.
The only booth he didn’t win was Windsor. Surprise, surprise, people who live in the inner city preferred the Greens candidate. What a flog.
If they don’t get elected they can’t do anything, so they’ll have any kind of tantrum or make any promise that they think will help their cause.
Except they won an overwhelming victory at the Brisbane Council election, and they’re predicted to win the upcoming State election pretty handily.
