Comment on Top scorer knocks back Deputy Mayor job by Rippedoff Ratepayer.
Good representation on new council makeup, but Jimmy, you need to get rid of the dreadlocks now as it ruins the otherwise clean image of the new councillers.

Let the gas flow, says Nigel Scullion
Have all you solar loving do gooders considered the fact that if you have 100% solar generation (even with battery back up you need diesel or gas back up for a “Black Start” and spinning reserve in the case of an unplanned shutdown. Just look at South Australia for a bad example.
Is the Stuart statue next?
@ Number 19: When Stuart first explored the continent it was “Terra Nullus”.
He obliviously did not find any signs or plaques saying this was Arrernte country? There was a choice for our first peoples to stay in the desert or adopt a better way of life and numerous choices of health services, modern transport and housing etc.
Also how bigoted is Stan Grant (ref: Edan Baxter’s 11/9/17 article), as he chooses to live 100% white man’s way and take all the benefits that come with it, but deny that this only happened because of Capt. Cook’s discoveries (yes discoveries because they were mapped, circulated and declared into records and claimed by Great Britain).
Let him stand in peace and be a great tourist landmark for this town.
Huge fence around Parliament is OK: Scullion
Nigel, It would eventually have to happen any way with the world terror situation eg. ISIS, North Korea, Taliban etc. So build it.
It is a shame to have to close in the magnificent lawns and patios but after a vehicle attack and the “rent a crowd” demonstration on the roof it is now necessary.
No different to protecting the White House or British Houses of Parliament.
‘Territory Labor fails to enact its own fracking policy’
Pauline, we’re all getting sick of this fracking crap.
Can you prove your LPG cylinder or 1kW of electricity hasn’t been invaded by fracked gas? The Industry does have a high standard to adhere to.
Is the Stuart statue next?
I agree with Hal’s comments and endorse the fact that Stuart was a passive explorer and achieved a remarkable feat by crossing that vast distance safely.
Note that although he had a rifle it would have been used 99% of the time to hunt for food, no different to hunting with a spear.
Also there are many statues of Truganini in Tasmania so nothing to stop a statue of any prominent Aboriginal pioneer big erecated in the same way.
