Paech owes the community answers on a few issues now. A growing list.
He continues to prioritise fluff and selfies over issues of substance.
Mate, people are sick of your vacillation. Get real. Front up with answers and facts. Shame the CLP are missing in action.
[ED – Mr Paech is on holidays.]

Weeks go by. Still nothing from Chansey Paech and Greg Anderson. How much longer until we know what is going on?

Still waiting for Paech to say something, anything, official. Public patience is running out.

Trevor says, in addition governments – particularly of the current political persuasion – have a tactic of leaving disclosure of already made firm policy until the last minute to avoid losing votes and people discussing and criticising the decisions.
This is right – and all it achieves is to make people feel disempowered and voiceless.

So Mr Paech, do these Black Lives Matter, or not?
The only thing that is transparent is your credibility.

They say people get the government they deserve. But the people of the Territory deserve better than this flagrant arrogance.

Martin. The Fyles Government is not a modern responsible government.

The Fyles Government operates in an announce and defend style. Last minute, here is a pre agreed outcome, don’t question it.
A modern responsible government needs to genuinely consult and bring the public on that journey to a reasonable outcome that is satisfactory to most people.

There are so many creative options to fill community needs in the town.
This is the basis of Christian ethics as I understood them to be, and disappointing that the Church is putting profit before people needs.
I understood that this was what the Christian ethic was all about. We are all here to help one another.
Particularly so in elderly housing. As previously described, my elderly mother lived in a retirement village in SA where she bought the small cottage from a trust (Masonic Lodge) at cost. There were 20 cottages in that group and it was a lovely community.
When she died the cottage was sold at then current increased valuation, her estate got back the original purchase price and the profit went back to the trust to build more houses for the next generation of elderly people.
Of course the greedy estate agents were cut out and probably still are not happy at missing commissions but it worked perfectly.
But governments or banks never think laterally or look for community needs as solutions to people / community problems.
In addition governments – particularly of the current political persuasion – have a tactic of leaving disclosure of already made firm policy until the last minute to avoid losing votes and people discussing and criticising the decisions. It’s all about votes and popularity.
