Councillors (as I have been reliably informed by a friend who served a number of terms on a large urban municipal council) frequently include the; interfering, nosy, bullying, and occaisionally corrupt bureaucrats who enter into local politics because they believe that they are the ones who have a 'special knowledge' (Gnostic?) and are therefore required to, even compelled one might say, to educate their more uneducated constituents in ways of the true 'faith'.
Thus we are made to suffer the inanities of ideological claptrap such as that perpetrated by Sydney councillors:
Sydney City Council last night declared the arrival of white settlers to be an “invasion” and wiped the words “European arrival” from official documents.
During a long debate, councillor Marcelle Hoff lodged a petition for councillors to use the term “invasion or illegal colonisation” in policy documents and statements.
Ms Hoff read out dictionary definitions of invasion as “to take possession, to penetrate, to intrude upon, to overrun”.
“They came in and they did not leave,” she said.However as Ms Hoff is herself one of these white settlers, or 'invaders', wouldn't it then be more convincing if she were to either pack up and return to where her family came from or just sell the proceeds of her 'occupation' and return the money to the 'rightful owners'?
