As for CVC’s claims on Maier doing nothing in four years, CVC clearly relies on Team Catania propaganda not facts. The thing CVC & TC can’t stand is that Maier is a genuine community candidate who gets up because he talks and listens to the community and doesn’t sit on his bum waiting for the loyalty votes to come in from Nick’s Labour Party and Italian community supporters to get elected.
Prediction: Steed won’t survive the next election. If he’s smart, he won’t even stand.

LikeLike
BR…..”Grubby politics. The whole farking lot of them.” My point/s exactly (however nowhere near as concise).
At least Matty Boy didnt make any attempts at moral high ground………whereas that Dudles Maier has built a so-called career from those giddy heights, and even after his campaign high jinks were splashed over the front page, acolytes like oldfart continue to delude themselves.
Well said BR!!

Oh Behave BR!
Too easy to damn the lot of ’em. Get a grip, man. I reckon Duds was silly to expect young Matt B to be careful; not Matt’s style at all.
[It’s gunna be interestin’ to see how the lad handles the strictures of being a Councillor. Might be enough for Il Duce to call it a day and go early to ‘spend more time with his family’.]
My reading of the Voice front page, Duds’ letter and the Voice response to it is that a key question remains to be answered:
He’s well-known at school sports events, has known Town activism history, property and personal connection, but does Dan Caddy usually reside in the Town?
His election material implies (but carefully, does not explicitly state) he does. I voted early (for Duds, Matt, and Dan for some balance) before the Voice story broke. If I had known DC didn’t live here, I would have voted for candidates who I know shop and live locally – the mum or the copper.
So I reckon Duds attempts to learn the truth weren’t dirty but entirely legitimate. If DC doesn’t normally live in the town, his advertising material was, to this voter at least, misleading.
Perhaps CVC can take a cold shower and help us all with the answer to this question.
LikeLike
Yeah, kinda strange. His kid goes to school in Vincent. And didn’t grubby Duddy say in his letter that there were numerous possible addresses for Caddy floating around? What’s up with that?
FWIW: For state and federal I was enrolled at my Mum+Dad’s address for farking YONKS after I moved outa home. I simply couldn’t be fagged filling out the forms.
Then one day a booth person asked me about it and they were all “AH HA! You can’t vote!”
[They were a bit crestfallen when they realised I didn’t give a shit. She was fixin’ for an argument. Now the AEC fakirs are sending me forms and I don’t even open them. Fark ’em.]
Er… my point? Enrolment details might have nothing to do with place of residence.
[But in Caddy’s case, it probably does. Or should. If he wants to appear legit. I’m rambling. [I’m a ramblin’ man.]]

Hi BR
Answer is simple.
The reference to schools sports events was a kind of in-joke amongst some of us Mt Hawthorn primary school parents. A bit naughty, I admit, and now wish I hadn’t included it.
The rest is taken from Dan’s electoral advertising material.
Have I ever been in the same room as Dudley Maier? Yep – on the few occasions over the past few years I have been in public question time at Council and once when he visited my house to discuss a local development issue. And he was on my front verandah once while doorknocking for his original election to Council in 2005.
I voted for him this time because I know enough about him from my personal experience and more Council-active friends that he is more assiduous than most in his work as a councillor. I often see him treadling around Mt Hawthorn on the weekend – at least some of which I know now to be visiting people proposing or being affected by development or other Town planning issues. It’s virtually impossible to even get an acknowledgement of contact from some of the Mayor’s acolytes, let alone a home visit.
So yes – no secret that I support Duds on Council. Do I think he’s perfect? Far from it. Do I agree with every position he takes? Far from it. But I reckon the CVC and other snarly stuff on him on TWOP is well wide of the mark.
BTW: I seem to remember there was a question mark over Dan C’s residential status last time he stood for Council. Anyone know anything about this?

In your link to the vote count:
**Dudley “Duds” Maier got in. Very famous grass roots activist in these parts. [Him and John “Hide the Salami” Hyde are always popping up in the two local rags.]
**Dan “DC” Caddy came 4th.
**Matt Buckels got in as you know.
I sorta refer to it in my first[?] post, but to summarise: Buckels reckons Caddy doesn’t live in Vincent, but his kiddie goes to school here, and his election flyer implied that he lived here.
Duds did some research on this because “a number of people approached him” and he passed this “dirt” on to Buckels so he could write a letter to The Voice.
Buckels wrote an email letter to The Voice editor but failed to remove the email chain where Duds tells him to “be careful” and where they “joke about Caddy’s private life” whatever the hell that means.
This made front page news in The Voice with Caddy suggesting this is a clear sign of party politics despite Buckels claiming to be independent. AFAICT, Buckels still denies there is an alignment.
Duds writes a huge letter next week claiming The Voice over reacted and “dirt sheet” was too strong a term. He also said he checked the Facebook friends pages of Caddy and The Voice journo and noted that they were friends and that there was obvious bias and it was unethical for The Voice journo not to note this fact in print… but then the editor replied that they only friended each other after the story went to print.
Sordid.
/Only ~200 votes between 1st and 4th. What a close one, eh?
//I’m hardly an local activist. Would like to be more active but this sort of carry on scares me. However, I do devour The Voice, indeed I look forward to reading it each week. Hence my intimate knowledge of the above, further fueled by the TWoP blog. The other [Murdoch owned] local rag. Meh. Bird cage liner.
///I voted for the copper. He came 5th!

Good try comrade CVC.
Here’s the facts:
No point in me asking Dan because he has no choice but to say ‘Yes’. But how will I know it is true?
So I need an independent source of information. I could ask the kids but that’d be sordid (and I won’t do it). Can you help?
I know Duds doesn’t live in my Ward and that IS a concern to me but he is entirely open about where he lives and doesn’t play funny buggers with it.

It’s that time of year again! Let’s get behind TWOP hero Duke Nukem Buckels. Even though he hasn’t delivered on his promises for an all-nuclear Christmas light show, or Hyde Park dugong sanctuary.

His suggestion of merging the City of Vincent with the Shire of Roebourne is certainly an innovative attempt to get Royalties for Rurotards funding for more Beaufort Street public art.

Is that nominations, or voting results. He’s not running a social media campaign like last time? Is it played?

Just nominations for now. I have to have a crap flyer before I can get in to the social media. I need a platform to work off. btw this year’s holiday was Berlin, and I have a new pic of me rowing a boat for consistencey’s sake.

I only have pics of me swimming in the muggelsee! they are not going on a flyer. rowing was the beer garden in the tiergarten, and another lake to the north… however that one has a girl dancing in a bikini behind me so again may not make the flyer.

It’s not that I don’t like Stirling, it’s just I think we’re better than that.

Well isn’t that the whole problem right there? Vincentonians think they are better than Stirlwegians. With little evidence to back up this notion.
LikeLike
I have no evidence as I’ve not been north of Green St/Walcott for 15 years.

Everything I have seen, the rallies, petitions, everything comes down to Vincent people thinking they are superior.

nah just different. 5000 signatures say we want to stay together. And we identify with the city not the suburbs. we don’t want half of Leederville to be in a different council to the other half. we don’t want Beaufort St split down the middle. Anyway regardless of why the people want it, it is what they want. It is staggering just how clear pretty much everyone is on this.
