Cr Johnston also picks up Labor's slack. She says "there are other ways" and that the Lord Mayor's false dichotomy of "you either support my cuts or you support increased rates."
She proposes a number of other things that could be cut. "All paid advertising." Overseas travel. Paid consulting to external private company boards. Cutting footpaths, tree trimming, and community grants is not a good idea, Cr Johnston says.
Labor, the Greens, and Cr Johnston vote in favour of her motion. The LNP votes against.
They could probably save themselves a fair chunk of money if they stopped plastering their faces on everything they can. You won't see a sign or flyer advertising a service the council provides without the faces of Schrinner and usually the local LNP councillor as well.
