"You lying fiction-writing creep."

LOL. I've grown to like Lee, unlike the shit mayor that we have, he was friendly on the campaign trail in 2019 and he has not submitted to the COVID nonsense. In fact he gave his followers on his blog some very good advice in March or April 2020.

Yes he does have a temper. But that's a chicken egg question.

And I may disagree with him on Climate, bikes and maybe the DCC debt (about who started it) but he's the only democratic councilor on the DCC right now. I'd rather work with him than any of the others. Though if Steve would drop his Labour alliance he could be a good councilor too. I don't think anybody else has it in them.

Steve sans Labour, and without the other morons who are on council at the moment, would be a good counter balance to Lee as well. But the rest of them are beyond useless.

So, Hamish, sorry to be thick, but does this translate into Council is paying this vast amount to fight this $12 parking ticket, funded presumably from coffers provided by our rates? The only winners possibly are lawyers.

Great question. If council wins, they may be awarded costs. That means that 100k may have to be paid by Vandervis, and vice versa if he wins.
