Why did Hobart City Council send a confidential two-page briefing to its/our elected members, secretly urging them to “collaborate” with UTAS on its proposal to redevelop the S/Bay campus? I just asked HCC to release the document, so we can all see it... #LGTas#politas
... but they’ve taken all three of my questions on notice, and blamed their inability to answer on the short period of time since I sent the questions. Just for the record, I sent them on Tuesday 14 January, almost two weeks ago.
The only other questions were from Brian Corr, who asked why the HCC reimbursed petrol costs for Ald Behrakis & Cr Coats that were unusually high for both, & were racked up while both were allegedly on a leave of absence to campaign in the state election. Awkward #LGTas#politas
*18th dammit!
