I have been urging ratepayers to vote with their brain rather their heart. Helping a political mate to get into any government does not and will not benefit your wallet and wellbeing, unless the representative is genuine to get in there for the good of the people rather than his/her own ego and glory.

I don't just vote for the new contestants for the sake of change or their political stance. I vote for them if they can demonstrate to me, at least in their campaign literature or in person, that they have the desire to effect changes in the Council chambers in response to the needs of Monash ratepayers. They must have clear understanding about gambling, and unemployment issues and traders' concern in Monash, and continue to call for a safe solution for Clayton railway crossing.

Graphic bill boards, based on the similar concept of cigarette smoking, placed on each side of the crossing may be more effective than issuing fines to offenders. There is always an excuse for non-English speaking, illiterate and stupid idiots to argue that they do not know or understand what the fuss is about. I believe that instead of issuing an infringement ticket, offenders are given a wreath as a life celebration gesture, because dead people do not have the opportunity to see one.
