LET THE GAMES BEGIN -- Five months out from NSW local government elections, the jostling was clearly on display last night at the Inner West Council’s monthly Council Meeting. Having reverted to a public meeting at Ashfield Service Centre after 14 months navigating meetings online, the night was off to a less than auspicious start when a planned live webcast was stymied by onsite “technical difficulties”.

This vote was never going to see the public light of day or shall we say twilight. The shoring up of diverse positions by Councillors was clearly in evidence and is
