This is the man, one Steve Cansdell MP, who appears determined to politicize Radio 2GF as a by-product of the North Coast Nationals drive to place breakfast radio host Richie Williamson in the Clarence Valley mayoral chair.
Why he thinks it wise to advertise the Williamson bid for mayor in this way and, virtually draw attention to the possibility of a conflict of interest which could bedevil 2GF and Bill Caralis in the future, I am at a loss to understand.
The ABC was much wiser when faced with the fact that an on-air employee was elected to Bathurst Regional Council.
Eventually Janice McGilchrist was told privately that it was a choice of her ABC job or being on council - she couldn't have both.
Cr McGilchrist will cease her official duties with council by the end of the week.
Her resignation follows weeks of discussion about a possible conflict of interest between Cr McGilchrist's role as ABC radio's new Central West and Tablelands morning show host and her role as a local councillor.
On 19 May 2006 she resigned from council.
