If it is approved,we should all throw in and buy wee Georgie(forever known as Mangrove Jack) a kayak,to get around the precinct.
After all, the tsunamis and torrential tropical downpours ,will create inland seas,around the Gallen towers.
Sutherland Council is classed as a Metropolitan Centre for the purposes of rumuneration for councillors (although they applied last year to be upgraded to Metro Major and were knocked back).
This means a Councillor will recieve a minimum of $11640 and maximum of $21700.
Old Carol also graciously accepts a further $24700 - $57660 for being the Mayor.

The $24,700 covers botox injections for the next 10 years.

THE widening of Captain Cook Drive has run into some strong opposition, with residents and even Sutherland Shire deputy mayor George Capsis angered by the destruction of trees and mangroves caused by the project.
Councillor Capsis has called on the council to halt the work, despite voting in favour of it, and has now questioned whether it should ever have been started after seeing the piles of bulldozed mangroves along Captain Cook Drive.
??I think the community needs an explanation,?? Cr Capsis said.
??When I voted for this it never occurred to me that we would kill so many mangroves.??
Paul Keating once called the Senate 'unrepresentative swill'. I wonder what he would make of George....
Forget the name Mangrove Jack, we now have Mangrove George.
Onya mate.... forget the smart ones, you'll do me.
"The kids as sharp as a pound of wet leather"
Perhaps we should advise Mangrove George that the Mangroves could be saved if we knew someone that could wrap the triffids in cling wrap.
Dude Love was better
Have mercy!
