Council goes Kafka

Council has been cancelling meetings during by-elections. They’ve always done it. It’s always been a problem, but we’ve worked around it. Having two consecutive by-elections has broken the system in my view, we’ve had no budget scrutiny, we’ve a huge backlog in performance reports. I have tried to identify the constitutional basis for this suspension. I’ve looked at the government advice and LGA. The advice is actually to carry on business as normal. So there’s no basis for this suspension. I tried to raise this as a point of order.

I was not allowed to raise an unconstitutional act as unconstitutional, since the act wasn’t in the constitution. My head is spinning.
