Council meetings could stay online to attract more women councillors | MeganGorrey

Councillors could be allowed to "attend" official meetings online after coronavirus restrictions are eased, under a NSW government bid partly aimed at increasing the number of women who serve on councils across the state.

"During the height of the pandemic, the overwhelming majority of the state’s local councils held virtual meetings, with many councils still choosing to meet electronically." "Many councils hold their meetings at night which can be difficult for people with family and carer responsibilities. The project is backed by politicians including Sydney lord mayor Clover Moore, former mayor Lucy Turnbull, councillor Kerryn Phelps and Bega Valley Shire mayor-turned-federal MP for Eden-Monaro Kristy McBain.

MeganGorrey The public knows this is much more than meetings to properly service the community. It pays below a living wage, no super, no leave of any kind. More like exploitation, unless they have their own financial support re a secure full time job or are retired or other type of support

Mum’s photo of child’s Christmas gifts sparks debateAn Aussie mum has sparked a heated online debate after she shared a snap of all the Christmas presents she bought her daughter. What does a toddler need cosmetics for? Waaay OTT. So the older she gets..the bigger the stash? ParentingDoneWrong Not sure how this sparked a debate. Let the kid have her presents. It is Christmas after all. Does this kid have literally no toys right now... that is a lot for a 2 year old child. My 6 year old would get bored and start playing with the cat in a cardboard box... hell even I would join in.

Qld relaxes border ban to Northern NSW towns | Sky News AustraliaAnnastacia Palaszczuk has relaxed her strict border bans by opening her state to people from Byron Shire, Ballina Shire, Lismore Council, Richmond Valley Council and Glen Innes Shire.\n\nThe changes – which come into effect on October 1 – will open Queensland to 152,000 people who will not be required to hotel quarantine.\n\nDeputy Premier Steven Miles said it would help people in communities which had ties across borders.\n\n“These are people who might live in NSW but very often they feel a closer affinity to Queensland. They live closer to Queensland than Sydney,” he said. \n\nThe deputy premier said Queensland residents would be allowed to travel to the designated NSW towns and vice versa, “relatively freely” for health care, work and to visit loved ones. Whilst welcome, once again the hypocrisy is astounding....QLD hospitals for Qlders one day, we are the same as Northern NSW the next...the politicking is reliant upon a moronic electorate....they may have a point.... Polls must be turning against her hysteria and lunacy. Vote out AnnastaciaMP for her incompetence or Queensland will be bankrupt inside 3 years with no jobs. Not one case of community transmission outside of Sydney for months and this mole continues her fruitless crusade to eliminate the flu in Australia all while traveling around QLD with flu like symptoms 😂😂😂😂
