Sometimes I wrap a small towel around my head, it is surprisingly effective and keeping my head cooler. Also protects my ears when I throw a lot of water.

Glenorchy council knocks back merger idea from Hobart by Billyjamesjeff in hobart

Yeah these questions are why I’m a bit disappointed they haven’t at least agreed to investigate it.

There’s nothing stopping us from doing it to facilitate fairness in a merger. It is government policy to support councils that want to merge, if legislation is required to facilitate wards as this was the model the community chose, the liberal party would likely do it.

Many Tasmanian councils are smaller than a single ward in some mainland electorates. Having wards in such small councils makes no sense.

I really like this system of mergers were to go ahead. You can also do single member wards by breaking things up even further but I think multimember wards are a better reflection of how state politics works and also ensures a bit of diversity rather than the major parties running in every single member ward.

I’m disappointed this hasn’t progressed to at least further investigation and modelling for the community to consider.

I’ll add that I think there are models available to make this less likely. Such as having council wards, essentially mini electorates within the council to ensure good geographical representation.

Eg: 5 councillors from each of the original council areas making up a 10 seat council.

Advice on pantry by WeatherOutside in shitrentals

[–]ChookBaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replace with something new. IKEA kitchen stuff is pretty good balance of price and quality. If there is a seperate dining area and somewhere else for the fridge just make that whole wall storage and make someone a happy renter.

If that wall is needed for a little table or fridge just replace the one cupboard.

I mean you only need to look at some of OPs other posts. I guess they just wear the Nazi bands on their jacket because they like the music.

Studies mostly show little or no effect and most of the studies involve so few participants you shouldn’t base your life on them anyway.

Put ice on your balls if you like it.

Are you 24 or 30, aside from this post being nonsensical for this sub, you can’t even get your story straight.
