17.01.2022 6 years today since I was sworn in as a Councillor for Mudla Wirra. I've certainly learned a lot since I arrived as a 22 year old: The red hair was a choice. Not a good choice, but a decision none the less. ... Don't plan anything on a Tuesday night. Read. Re-read. READ AGAIN the Local Government Act. Your views on fiscal policy and debt will change with time and experience. Google "triple bottom line." Speak to an accountant about your council allowance. Tax time is complicated.
