Haters gonna hate, I’ll just stay cool
LNP stooge? Clown? Lol.
Well done to the letter writer from last week for their complete misread of my commentary on whatever it was I was talking about.
It reminds me of the time I was accused of being a Greens mouthpiece.
Jokes, that could never happen.
But while we’re on the Greens, is last week’s cold snap a sign of climate change or not?
Whichever way you look at it, I was cold. And that’s saying something for the cold-blooded, cold-hearted clown that I am.
Clever Council
Who does the Sunshine Coast Council’s new chief financial officer think he is? Rainman?
Apparently this guy had just set foot inside council chambers before discovering the unfortunate matter of a missing $30 million – something that went unnoticed by a legion of auditors and internal bean counters for at least the past five years.
“Genius hire!” I can hear his boss and CEO John Baker saying.
But you can also imagine the CFO’s first meeting with Mayor Natoli:
“The good news is, you can cancel this week’s budget. The bad news? Ummm… about that $30 million…”
He was brought on by Mr Baker earlier this year at the same time as a hiring freeze was locked in (trouble was already brewing, it seemed).
At the time the ABC asked the rather prescient question in an article: “Is a CFO really worth it?”
I think that’s a yes, but let’s see.
While our Division 1 Councillor, Jenny Broderick, commenting on the appointment at the time, said:
“This will give our executive the ability to have someone there sitting with them, letting them know exactly what’s happening and when.”
Right on!
