Amongst the key roles of Councillors are:
2.3 Roles and Functions of all councillors
II. represent their communities and bring their views into the Council’s decisionmaking process, i.e. become the advocate of and for their communities;
III. deal with individual casework and act as an advocate for constituents in resolving particular concerns or grievances;
Where does that limit them to local issues only? It constituents have a grievance regarding something that is happening in their community abroad, it is perfectly reasonable for their representative to raise it at Council.
Not gobbledygook, jaysay. Fact. |
Rubbish.
If people have grievances about international matters, they should lobby national government, who deal with international issues on our behalf.
It isn't the job of local government.
Or shouldn't be.
The last time we saw such stupidity was when loony left councils in the eighties involved themselves with various non-local concerns.
