@Gorgritch_umie_killa yeah, Nedlands, before they got dissolved, abolished, or whatever the word is, I believe.
For me, the impression I continually get from my local council is that they may be good people with good intentions and set good policy, but the Operations side of the town just go about doing whatever they want anyway. It doesn't seem to matter who gets voted onto it, not a lot of visible change.
Oh wow! I mean, i can't really comment because i don't understand the history in that situation. But a rogue, and unaccountable public service can't be a good thing.
@Gorgritch_umie_killa It's fascinating reading https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-09/fiona-argyle-mayor-of-nedlands-council-dissolved-follow-barnett/105511328

Oh yeah, that interview earlier this year was a wild affair! Got in the car and listened to the replay of it morning after and i's just gobsmacked how off the charts she progressivley got!
