fuck my local council
they want to throw away $100K to fight a solar+battery farm that is on the fringe of dubbo as it's prime residential expansion (which I get, we need more houses), there's a bit of nimby-ism, and the deputy mayor is a cooker
the article states that council staff advised the councillers that this is a very long shot and the spend is likely a waste of cash!
meanwhile the sole open space sporting area west of the wambuul doesn't have enough reticulated capacity to be watered
not just once a week. at all. zero watering is done there
the department that runs it has zero plans to fix that. they have done nothing in at least 5 years to provide adequate facilites to half of the town
yet let's throw away $100K on this bullshit?
