Question time

Since coming back from my five week overseas junket at no cost to the City of Casey ratepayers, I find out that you can no longer submit questions at council meetings 20 minutes before the meeting is due to commence.
You now have to submit them in person on a Monday before 10am.
As a working man this now becomes impossible for myself and many others to submit a question relating to our City of Casey or councillors.
I have a theory on this and it goes like this – it is to stop people from lodging question that have been put up by Mr Paul Richardson.
I ask the City of Casey to admit this is the reason.
And no, Mr Richardson did not write or approve this.
Rex Flannery,
Narre Warren South.
