GOOD GOVERNANCE FOR LOCAL GOVT



So as you have the good oil on what the Minister for Good Local Governance thinks that 'good governance' looks like. Then have a good hard think about your experiences and what you have seen in operation. It is edifying and you should ask the candidates that come knocking IF they are going to uphold this guide and hold their other aldermen/councillors to them. IF they wiggle and start talking fast and then change the subject, take careful note and consider not voting for them.


So as you have the good oil on what the Launceston Council thinks that 'good governance' looks like. Then go to the website and have a good hard think about your experiences and what you have seen in operation. Especially about accountability and transparency. It is edifying and you should ask any candidates that comes knocking IF they are going to uphold these values and hold their other aldermen/councillors to them. IF they falter you probably shouldn't vote for them or in retrospect it might have been better if had not if you already did last time.

NB: Launceston City Council no longer talks about 'accountability and transparency' as the Minister does. This is concerning and it might be a goo idea to quiz candidates about their commitment to accountability and transparency.
