NORTHERN BEACHES COUNCIL ELECTIONS
SEPTEMBER 2017
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Manly Daily 18 February 2017
Call to Independents
GEORGE Morrison is absolutely correct (Your say, Feb 14). It will be a disaster if the party powerbrokers win the Northern Beaches Council election. The rest of us can just forget about a harmonious, united council. Like the State Government, it won't resemble anything remotely democratic with its petty dictators. As you read this, the political parties are shoving hard to get themselves ensconced on the new council and once they're in, it will be impossible to ever get them out - a disaster indeed. So, come on independent candidates, we need you now more than ever. A good strong slate of independents is our only hope of getting a truly democratic council. If we all vote for independent candidates, it will serve as a referendum and send a strong message to the political parties that we really don't want them here. Stan Pollock, Manly Vale
