Administrator refuses to be the voice of the people
After the last Central Coast Council meeting, "administrator" Mr Rik Hart stated that he was appointed by the NSW State Government.
He also said that plans which originate from the NSW State Government (such as the "Six Cities" agenda, which will turn the whole region from Wollongong to Newcastle into a surveillance society "for your safety") are outside of his control, which is why he is passing them.
He said that if he did not pass them then the state government would intervene.
Mr Hart, who does not live on the Central Coast, also stated that he doesn't see how being State-appointed to pass State plans is a conflict of interest, proudly claiming at each council meeting that he has no conflicts of interest.
His attitude is atrocious and his actions make a mockery of the supposed democratic system we are supposed to be living in.
Since he refuses to elect new council members until the State-appointed time of 2024 and since he refuses to be the voice of the people to the State Government, every decision he makes should be considered null and void.
This dictatorship might not rule with an iron fist yet but, when most people feel the line has been crossed, it will be too late.
Already, the public voice will only be heard after a submission is submitted - and approved - by State-appointed Administrator Hart.
The next council meeting is on Tuesday, November 22.
I hope for an even better public turnout than the last one.
