The last meeting of the Colac Otway Shire council
held in Apollo Bay was frightful and embarrassing.
The Mayor failed to call to order cheeky children
or a rude adult from Kennett River who called out
a most inappropriate comment.
The unusual excitement was over a carefully prepared
petition about potential oil spills in the Australian Bight
caused by either exploration or drilling.
In spite of an excellent speech by Cr Stephen Hart
the council failed to pass a motion to send any concern
to the decision-making bodies on our behalf.
Time to secede.
