Muppet

Unfortunately this Muppet is well versed in this sort of thing he knows his rights and laws and how far he can push them, He is also a jorno for the Singleton Argus. He is well conected to various people in Council. He also gets on every protest group in the area including those that are good development. Continually objects to any business development with in the village or immeadiate area.
Recently reported in the Argus on the 15th by another jorno about an application for Australian Skydiving to commence operations at Whittingham airstrip
[ There were twelve objections from nearby residents main concern noise and potential livestock injury. Defence dept had a whinge. but later verbally retracted.
Lama Farmer (named) gave council advice on what could be done to restrict operations to protect residents and to stop a repeat of community concern at Elderslie.
However none of the suggestions were taken on board in the final conditions of consent] small win for someone.
Now it has also been reported that singleton council is just about broke and should be in deficit before end of June. Due to huge court cost against Dep Mayor. I think i have just about worked out how much the Muppet has cost rate payers with his continual objections and crap over the years. and i should be able to swing council that if the whole thing don't stop we will go to court if needed to get the restrictions off the clubs operations. Slowly people are realising just how much income is put back into the area and we are winning them over slowly. wheels are in motion. we have 300 members and a skydiving community of over 6000. should get point or two across with that.
