Dunny Council (like all NZ govt local councils) have done nothing but fleece the ratepayers deserve a no star rating( just got my rates bill today... sicked up a bit in my mouth).

You know George C quote " If voting did anything they wouldnt let us do it"

"He who counts the vote counts"

People de registering their vote would be one solution.As you know what register means( blacks law)if you have registered your vote with the Govt you have given them partial ownership/control over it.

Before they get their plan to have kids( 16) that are totally brainwashed believers in to vote for them.

I have experience running a local political campaign in San Francisco on $500. We lost. However we lost by about $50,000 pumped into the race for the Community College Board of Trustees. The person winning had endorsement of major political figures and was an incumbent.

I managed to get for my wife's candidacy 16,000 votes less than the winner. Considering obstacles I was pleased.

Where do you draw the line for "Southern".

Best wishes for the upcoming battle.

Rich ‘has lived in Dunedin since ...... ‘ sounds good to me but sorry I can’t offer advice on the political scene. Good luck anyway. It sounds as if good people are needed over there.
