The recent blunt assault by Andrew Von Dadelszen on the new members of the Regional Council was both scurrilous and without foundation. Repeating second hand comments, which have been attributed to me, is both irresponsible and dangerous and I wonder what has motivated Andrew to do this? Is he truly a watchdog or merely a pretender and repeater of tall tales designed to serve his own ambitions? Sloppy biased writings such as this, should be consigned to the rubbish bin where they belong, as this serves no purpose. Wake up Andrew and smell the roses. Are you now out of touch?

I have no issues with ex Councillor Andrew von Dadelszen, in fact I get the impression he did a good job when on council. But for Sun Media to continue running regular blogs from Andrew as an ex Councillor, shows disrespect to the regions voters by the Sun newspaper

In my opinion! More than ever we need people that will stand up and be counted instead of sitting on their bums and complaining over a cuppa. Sometimes one 'must' hit a pin with a sledge hammer to be heard. Maybe 'waiknot' you could first of all identify your self and secondly put forward some constructive comments on how things could be better ... Maybe ?? I say "CONGRATULATIONS SUN LIVE" on what only you do. That is put the other side. I guess thats the great thing about a news paper that is locally owned. They have an interest in the community and it's well being. As opposed to some Aussie out fit that does not really give a stuff IMO. "Citizens Monitoring Council" N Barker
