Mr MORRIS — On another matter, last week the Minister for Roads and Ports referred to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council as being ‘dominated by people aligned with the Liberal Party’.
That is totally untrue. Councillors are a diverse group, independent in the best sense of the word. Party politics do not form part of their deliberations; nor should they. The minister needs to come into this house, acknowledge the inaccuracy of his assertion and withdraw his false claim.
