FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Sydney council has unanimously rejected a recommendation to stop its mayor from speaking out against the trading hours of a fast food outlet.
The Green’s Lyall Kennedy, Mayor of Ashfield in Sydney’s inner west, had been campaigning against the operations of a 24-hour MacDonald’s in the area and is now free to continue after a move to censure his public opposition was dismissed by the council.
He said the decision to reject the “recommendation from a code of conduct reviewer” reflected the common sense view that elected representatives must be able to speak up in the interest of residents.
“I’m proud to be mayor of a council that looks out for the needs of residents,” Mr Kennedy said in a statement on Tuesday.
“It was heartening to have the support of the council and to see this vexatious complaint knocked on the head.”
NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge praised Mr Kennedy’s efforts and called for a new planning system that would help promote community concerns.
“It takes courage to stand up to a powerful multinational company and that courage has been vindicated,” he said.
“NSW needs a planning system which allows the voice of the community to be heard not stifled.”
