The Tasmanian Ratepayers Association is willing to publish on this site an update of Alderperson's policy priorities. 

Margaret Thatcher is famous for saying many things and not the least for saying " nothing is more obstinate than a fashionable consensus". It appears that Launceston's Aldermen are seeking a consensus, a pathway even, in regard to basically maintaining the current state of affairs in local Govt. What are their individual arguments for this? How comfortable are they with consensus if it exists?

This Annual General Meeting may well be a time for Alderpersons outside the "consensus circle" to alert their constituency to their mind shift,  their changed attitude,  their responses to new understandings or some future vision.

Ratepayers wish to hear from their representative on what matters to them rather that Council management's spin on "operational matters".
