Australian local councils are all cunts. Sack the lot of them, appoint an administrator to tender out for set price contracts for essential services, and only essential services, to be carried out. If rate payers want something beyond essential services they can pay for it themselves.

Blackrock Rules Australia - Politicians Are Peasants This looks remarkably like a variation on a ponzi scheme. If a business is doing anything other than attempting to make a profit that should be throwing up huge red flags for everyone dealing with that business, no matter how large that business is. What happens when Blackrock, like all other businesses, goes into decline? What happens to all the unprofitable, and undesirable to the population, policies Blackrock have made Australia adopt? Look at Disney, they have ESG'd themselves into a hole they can't get out of. There are rumours that George Lucas and several other large shareholders are in negotiations with Apple to sell sell their shares as part of a hostile take over. My guess is sooner or later the whole thing will come crashing down, and once again the Australian tax payer will be stuck paying for things they never asked for and repeatedly said they didn't want.
