You've become such an incredible source, and the access to this information you're starting to be able to provide is really great!

[@gallowshumor1784]

Had no idea you were local, great job man. Its really important to educate people about stuff like this :)

[@MattWatsonAus]

There are plenty of NSW local councils which are riddled with party politics. Many local councillors belong to one of the major parties and use the council as a stepping stone into state and federal politics.

Oh wow, needing one party to plan the road and the other to plan the markings seems kinda complex. Intersting!

The comment regarding not having parties in local government doesn't go for all states, "Team Adelaide" are a conversative group who hold majority within the Adelaide City Council

[@AuspolExplained]

I believe he did preface that bit by saying that parties aren't a big feature of local government in WA specifically.

Meanwhile at Brisbane City Council... being the largest local government by population and with the largest budget of over $3 billion... they run Brisbane’s public transport system and infrastructure (buses and ferries), build and do major works and build a lot of bridges and tunnels lol. And very very heavily involved in party politics
