Moggy Musings [Archived material from Boy the Wonder Cat]

 
A tall tails tales or true? musing: Cansdellgate is the gift which keeps on giving. Now the list of people, who allegedly knew of Steve Cansdell’s admitted falsification of a statutory declaration before he confessed to his National Party leader and then Grafton police in September 2011, has grown. NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell has been joined on this list by a long serving Liberal senator, an evangelical pastor, a mayor and, possibly a senior member of NSW Police. Even the Independent Commission Against Corruption may have had a degree of fore knowledge if the rumours of just how quickly it jettisoned the complaint are true. To a simple moggy like myself it almost looks as though by the time the MP's resignation was announced the 'legal' problem had been quietly made to go away.

A move along, nothing to see here musing: There's a strong rumour doing the rounds that Clarence Valley Council assets manager George Kriflik and Clr. Sue Hughes are hoping their names don't surface when locals discuss council power plays. Too late, old press coverage gave the game away long ago.
 
A very odd musing: Which North Coast council was an unsecured creditor of a company apparently solely owned by one of its own councillors at the time he was elected last September?
 
 
A Well Done! musing: Let's hear it for Slim, Trip, Hear Ned, Breeze, Boots, Willy, Molly, Rex, Rexxie, Joe, Bill, Pete, Sting, Carly, Paddy and Jill for their outstanding efforts on behalf of the canine kind at the dog trials held at the Maclean NSW on 15-16 September 2012.
 
A losing her prawn head musing: Yamba's Chamber of Commerce president wants to see Ballina's iconic Big Prawn relocated to the town at the mouth of the Clarence River. Oh dear, wrap the idea in newspaper and put it in the bin.
 
A smell of burning musing: In the last campaign days of the NSW North Coast 2012 local government elections things are heating up. As a Ballina candidate and mayoral hopeful canvasses the possibility that the theft and torching of his vehicle was politically motivated and, it comes to light that elsewhere a first-time candidate is issuing what seem suspiciously like thinly veiled threats in an effort to keep the media silent concerning his activities.
 
A how much moola? musing: Rex the German Shepherd wants to know how much a local government by-election in the Clarence Valley might cost if one of the 9 councillors elected next Saturday [8.9.12] threw a wobbly and resigned in the next year or so. I couldn't tell him. Can anyone?
