If local government elections are held next year, why not apply for the cushy, overpaid position of ward councillor? Anyone can do the job. Colleagues helped list these simple requirements: electrician; plumber; lawyer; law enforcer; town planner; horticulturist; vet; social worker; pastor; marriage counsellor; financial advisor; all with a high degree of tolerance. Add civil engineer ; civil engineer ; trafficologist; waste management specialist; sound engineer.
On every street there are residents who know better than professionals. They will alternately ask questions or advice: “How many decibels is my neighbour’s generator allowed and why haven’t you done something about the fumes? Councillor, you must move that guy sleeping on the pavement.” Ministerial Covid-19 briefings communicate little. Accompanying media releases and Gazette notices can be equally vague. So people turn to ward councillors. Yes, it is ridiculous to ban family/friend visits at home while allowing encounters with strangers in casinos, churches, cinemas, restaurants, etc.
