Once the three injured people get out of the hospital, they should make a public apology to all the people of Australia for their stupidity, costing taxpayers money and emergency personnel's effort to rescue them, and causing immense stress and anxiety to the people who love them.

They should come clean "whether alcohol and speed were factors in the crash". Their licences should be cancelled and they need to re-sit for driving tests again.

It is useless to have the most beautiful city if the residents don’t have time to enjoy it!

Unfortunately, many Councils draw up plans to beautify their cities on cosmetic level only. If the Casey Council can be more innovative, and think outside the square, making the city more “attractive” to business people and investors to conduct medium to large businesses in Cranbourne, that is to say, create more employment for the City, then the residents will not have to travel to inner suburbs to work, and hence can spend more of their disposable income and time to enjoy the City.

Just think about what I say!

Slater and Gordon’s share was a cool $3.9 million after all the costs incurred, or 16.6% of $23.5 million.

Since the Council can recover much of the $13.5 million, so the Mayor said, and we assume that to be 80% will come to $10.8 million. If the legal fee is at 16.6%, then the recovered amount will be reduced to $9 million.

What it means is that the Council will have to pay ($13.5 - $9) million, that is $4.5 million.

Where is the money coming from? Oh, no – it must be from my next rate valuation notice, where else!
