Bargain Gift
Strange that allowing our Council's decisions into the public domain is considered a malicious act by CEO Sam Johnston, while the very people who pay your salary consider this as opening up our Council to truth and transparency, two ideals that are sadly lacking in our society these times.
Most of the area surrounding and including York Park Stadium has been given away, now it seems a part of Brisbane St Mall will follow suit.
I expect it's easy to give away something you haven't paid for personally, no skin off your nose or pay packet, eh!

Building Blocks
The Victorian Government is looking at old industrial land, golf courses, race tracks and surplus university sites e.g. Newnham campus in Launceston.
These are being targeted for the most housing builds and will be fast tracked under new government changes.
UTAS deliberately let our Newnham campus run down by not maintaining the buildings so they had an excuse to spend millions of dollars of government money to move to an area less than half the size of Newnham campus.
So! Should they bulldoze Newnham campus and build houses?
Or give it some TLC and turn it back into a great and useful site?
Could it perhaps be used for homeless people?
Surely our academics could come up with imaginations and ideas. After all aren't they the clever ones?
