And what percentage of Melbournians had used the left lane of Exhibition St or Queensbridge in the months before the bike lanes? Probably less than 10%... Most people are walking or taking trams/trains. 10% is a great result given how many people cycle. Hopefuly it'll catch on and we'll stop seeing so many cars gridlocking the CBD

@AnthonyWild-s7d Says:
It has been my view for a long time, to get rid of all council administrations, as costly dead wood. Keep the operational side,ie garden maintenance, rubish removal, street sweeping etc, and have rates notices issued by a state government office. This should save all of us ratepayers a lot of money, and stop this BS.
@andrewmiller-yy4de Says:
What really needs to be pointed out is that " Councils" have no Constitutional Right to exist.Not only do they try and replicate "Constitutional Government" most exceed.A example that has always sent shivers down my spine is, if a Police Officer enters your property to "Search" they require a Court issued Warrant and they have to provide grounds to the Magistrate of why the need/want the warrant. There are councils in this country that have passed so called " By Laws" where a council employee can enter your property, without your consent or a warrant to see if your dog is registered, or how many dog's you have,or if you have a Rooster in city/town limits. Go figure
@royevetts4900 Says:
in 1988 we had a referendum to deny 3rd tier government having any power...i.e. the Councils.
So.....who gave them permission to be political? They are to fix roads, rates and rubbish...that is it. There is no power given to them in the 1901 Federation Act and again they were denied power in 1988....they should be put back in their places.

Q: Why did Jeff Kennet plant CEO’s in local councils?
A: because local councils served the local people. And this didn’t fit well with the WEF.

@speedymccreedy8785 Says:
Councils are no longer humble functionaries providing basic local civil services. It will be very tempting for a future federal government to just appoint professional administrators to get these council to focus on what they are supposed to do, rather than a pontificating talkfest for self serving yokels.

@elenawalker3746 Says:
What about RATES, when the GST was introduced Treasurer Peter Howard Costello & Commissioner for Taxation Michael Carmody said Quote: “Local government Council Rates will attract NO GST because Council Rates are a tax and we can’t tax a tax”.
Local Councils nor STATES have authority to collect taxes. Clearly in sections 51 and 52 of the Constitution and from the Constitutional Commission (1985 – 1988) report that the power of taxation is held exclusively by the Federal Parliament.
“The power of taxation is held exclusively by the Federal Parliament.” Local Government Rates being a tax are unlawful.
The High Court of Australia ruled that “State Governments could not raise ANY-TAX”, and because of this the ‘State Excise on Fuel, Tobacco & Alcohol’ was removed.
State Governments establish Local Government with an ABN it is automatically regarded as a private corporation and therefore cannot be Government, Local Governments and Councils and are Trading Companies.
@adamrea2530 Says:
Councils act as they are the 3rd tier of government. They are not mentioned in the Commonwealth Constitution 1901. There have been 3 referendums asking if the people if they wanted a 3rd level of government. The people voted NO every time.
