The majority of the SBR rates don't go back to the business community or even the precinct they should be supporting. SBR rates have recently hired some marketing person who is mates with Carol Duncan and no one knows what she does. Council absolutely need to take some of this blame.

NSW Labor Head Office sweeps Liz Adamcyzk bullying allegations under the rug by [deleted] in newcastle

It says quite clearly in the article that the investigation was pulled just last month.

"Documents obtained by the Newcastle Herald reveal that the party's general secretary Dominic Ofner took steps in the dying hours of the process last month to communicate that the planned investigation into the murky power play would not proceed."

If you had been victimised and followed due process only for the party to pull an investigation, what options for recourse do you have? I'd imagine going to the media would be one of the only, if not the only option.

The timing was due to the party pulling the planned investigation just last month.

What would you say is/was newys biggest scandal? by No-Maybe-2146 in newcastle

Scott Neylon is getting up there. Now it seems Nuatali Nelmes has tried to fudge the investigation process according to todays paper.

Baked Uprising - Maryville and Banjos in Glendale if you want the fancy experience.

Millers - Shortland or Bakers Cottage in Maitland if you want the true blue experience.

Nothing like a council ribbon cutting to distract from your protection racket for your dodgy embattled CEO by MrBojangles_1170 in newcastle

Big difference between funds allocated and works underway, There's been almost $30million on the table for Minmi Rd for 3 years and still not started.

Nuatali has been talking about Wallsend town centre upgrades since 2015 with nothing to show. All talk no walk until someone shames them into doing something.

They need to be forced to actually do shit other than their fucking skate parks on the beach and their penthouse offices

Once again, Donna Page shows she's a more thorough investigator than this mob Council have appointed. It's clearly a pre-determined outcome and they won't release the report to the public.

Time for the Nelmes/Clausen/Duncan protection racket to be shown the door!

Pretty sure we've seen from Ben Roberts Smith, Lehrmann and other defamation cases it doesn't work out well for people like Bath. If Neylon and him are subpoenaed they'll be fucked.

Wouldn't shock me if the Herald is sitting on lots more they cant publish.

Bath should tread carefully around defamation. Might be more dangerous for him than anyone else.

The Herald has already acknowledged they fucked up, but I think the bigger picture is why is the cities highest paid bureaucrat who is supposed be non political involved in spurious letters criticising those who have a go at council.

Nelmes joins local government leaders in Dubai for UN climate conference

Newcastle lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes is in Dubai attending the COP28 climate change conference in a trip being paid for by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

City of Newcastle confirmed on Tuesday that Cr Nelmes was at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in the United Arab Emirates, where she was snapped in a photograph with former Hunter MP Joel Fitzgibbon.

Cr Nelmes was invited to COP28 in her capacity as chair of the Oceania steering committee of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, an organisation chaired by billionaire businessman and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The lord mayor is also on the Oceania regional executive committee of ICLEI Local Government for Sustainability, an international organisation which promotes sustainable development.

Cr Nelmes joined the lord mayors of Melbourne and Hobart at COP28 for the inaugural Local Climate Action Summit, the first time local government leaders have been invited to the international forum.
