TIME WASTED FOR SURE

All posted up at 3.26pm, all of Mondays events were all over by then so guess that fits in the category of no one was "interested" to go but only cos no one knew. According to Murray G that means it was a 'public meeting' right.

Public versus confidential

It's my belief that any meeting, discussion or activity that involves elected members and contributes to a democratic decision making outcome must be in the public arena, at the least, with media advised. Where practical, meaningful records of such processes should be available. All workshops and forums should be recorded. Where there are commercially sensitive components and or matters of privacy for individuals, these should separated out and kept in confidential. For example, yesterday morning and part of the afternoon was spent debating in confidential whether or not the 'glass house on a barge' should be allowed to remain in it's present position and the future direction for the proposed Coronation Pier development. 90% of the discussion did not qualify as confidential but members present by majority refused to release the non-confidential aspects, who voted for what, with what rational. I sense members were more concerned about keeping the community in the dark about their own contribution.
