Councillor still getting paid a year after move to Australia

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to let you know how disappointed I am at your actions and to share my sense of disbelief and disgust at your actions in providing a salary to a councillor who has not lived in this country for a year.

You are letting the entire local government system down and collectively you are an embarrassment to all political parties and public representatives across the country.

Your actions are a disservice to local government and democracy.

Do the right thing and end this farce.

Sincerely

Keith Martin

Councillor

Westport Town Council
