Sometimes I just have to scratch my head. Got a text this morning, encouraging me to vote in the Fish & Game elections for a bunch of candidates.. 2 of whom are current councillors who simply can't or refuse to attend council meetings. You have to ask why they'd bother standing? Why waste an opportunity for someone who actually wants to make a difference from having the opportunity to do so? There's every chance that they will make the cut too.
"So go on, waste your votes and give them to Reardon & Chapman". That's what the text ought to have said.
Go here to view candidate profiles for Auckland Waikato's candidates. It amazes me how many candidates are all of a sudden pro mallard research. I think that Southland F&G council needs a standing ovation for raising if not collective awareness and consciousness, at least something that candidates can write on their profiles to win votes!! Go, kiss a baby you lot, its a great photo opp!
Further, it amazes some that a number of the old AW crew state that they've been on council for 20 + years like its some sort of badge of honour or qualification to continue to be on council. Wow, in that time the duck population has diminished, canada goose has been lost as a game bird, and we can only really begin to touch on releasing upland birds after wading through red tape. Well done you long-termers, look what you've achieved - you guys rock!
I'd prefer that you voted for:
Carey - Craig
Church - Lindsay
Foster - Dick
Foster - Nick
Hutson - Peter
Murray - Rex
O'Brien - Mitch
Ralph - Guy
Watson - Tom
Or, just get another 3 years of miserable results, no feedback and pretty obscure accountancy practices to boot.
