SUPER COUNCILS AND AMALGAMATIONS

Grant, what is the Carr Government’s Agenda re, Local Government? Amalgamations and the Creation of Super Councils, could it be to cover up the Allegations of Questionable Practices by Councils such as Rockdale and Liverpool? Or maybe, they’re protecting their Labor Colleagues who control My Council Canterbury?

In 2001 they introduced a three year Roads and Footpath Levy which is included in our Rates, but Fails to Identify the amount we are charged.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Carr Labor Government has Plagiorised the Liberal – National’s Policy of User Pays. Both the NSW and Federal Government aided and abetted by their Bureaucrats do not realize that the taxes and levies collected from we “Mugs” should be utilized towards infrastructure, re Health, Education, Maintenance of roads and our State Rail System. It’s called Public Service.

When a Government Treasurer Boasts that his Government has a Budget Surplus, that’s when you realize that we the Taxpayer have been robbed, for at best a Government should be a non-profit Organisation.

Grant, Rural NSW is suffering high unemployment, Deregulation and Drought and now this uncaring Carr Labor Government wants to enforce further Hardship on Rural Towns. I.e. If Blayney is forced to Amalgamate with Orange Council, Blayney resident/ratepayers would have to fork out up to Three Hundred Dollars Extra Rates per year.

The Arrogance and Ignorance of the Carr Labor Government is visible to all, by their Undemocratic and Dictatorial attitude re: Council Amalgamations without consultation to the Resident/ Ratepayers for N.S.W. Shame, Shame and Shame.
