Rubbish Service Redefined In Glenorchy

CLICK HERE FOR THE MERCURY STORY

This is one of those stories when you scratch your head and wonder, “who the hell is driving the bus here”. 

Apparently the application here has been before a planning tribunal no less and it still comes up wanting. 

If all that is being presented here is all that there is to it, then it means that if you want to recover the resources, your resources, otherwise known as “rubbish” you can only do it in little bits so as not to displace, or even threaten a little bit, a council functionaries job security or her/his reason for being. 

It seems that there are local administrations in sophisticated societies that demand new developments plan to manage the 'facility's' own waste – and on site. Many even not only encourage on-site resource recovery but insist upon it. 

Is this not what MONA is proposing? However it seems that that come hell or high water functionary down at ‘the council’ actually want to look silly – and internationally too. 

The question these 'council drones' do not seem to have asked themselves is “just how silly can I afford to look?” It seems that there are no bounds! 

For an out-of-the-box person like David Walsh there is always a solution. Twerps, bureaucratic twerps at that, are as likely as not to get his juices flowing. 

You see David does already own a “SHIT MACHINE” and it should be a doddle to get a companion piece going out in the garden. That was probably the idea here?

If this 'sister-shit-machine' was robbing the council of opportunities it is very likely that the world would beat a path to David's door to see it and smile a lot. 

Then again David could buy himself a biggish ship and park it off-shore an do his composting on board way out of the jurisdiction of the intellectual midgets at ‘the council’. Quite possibly it too could be an exhibit with an environmental cum scientific cum cultural message for not only ‘the council’ but also the whole world. 

Then again David could even contemplate going off-grid and handle all of MONA’s waste – rather its resources – for himself on-site. 

It has to go without saying that the council and the planning tribunal here are already a laughing stock. Just how far do they really want to go to demonstrate their total stupidity and impending redundancy? 

The trouble here is that this 'council bureaucratic rubbish' keeps on being endlessly, and annoyingly, recycled. 

And, it should also go without saying that there are councils all over Tasmania hat are ripe for the redundancy option. And, there is quite probably one collecting rates for rubbish service very near to you right now.
