Lady bike advocate and greenie, into sustainable living, boardgames, books, garden to table, craft, cats, conservation. The urban good life.
There's just no incentive to give up a 100k plus a year job when getting the pension. And no trigger to delay a pension for someone earning a generous amount already. That bit feels out of whack.

I love the term 'herocially'. This is an excellent description. I just wish this could be communicated to the local community.

Cr Turner now asking how we get rid of increased housing capacity. Complaining about Glen Eden housing built _under current rules_ cos landlords are leaving houses empty. Cr Hills heroically trying to explain to him PC78 is the default & the new plan actually decreases density in much of Glen Eden.
