Dedicated to exposing alleged serious misconduct and corrupt conduct of Tablelands Regional Council.

Endangering public safety, the lies, fabrications & involvement of senior council officers in attempting to cover up the truth of what has transpired.

Well it's not what we wanted. Some consolation - the State Government is watching TRC...

Well we've hit a hurdle. Apparently the name change was too different and was rejected by Facebook. A new page has been set up - link below. I wasn't planning for this so it will take a bit of time to decide how best to proceed. At this stage I'm thinking I'll share between both pages for the time being.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Tomorrow the name of this page will be changing. When a page changes name existing followers unfortunately won't automatically follow the re-named page. Please copy the new name below and re-follow after the change. There is a lot that needs to be said about TRC that until now has been withheld due to legal reasons. Those circumstances no longer apply.
New page name from 24/9/2026
TABLELANDS REGIONAL COUNCIL - MISCONDUCT, LIES AND COVERUPS

31/08/2026

Election result has been officially declared with just over 70% counted. 3 in 10 didn't vote..

26/08/2026

A few opinions on the election:
1. For a candidate to secure approx. 50% of the primary vote in a field of five candidates is an exceptional achievement.

2. The vote for change (new candidates and Cardew) is sitting on roughly 70% of the vote – in line with TRC’s 'community survey.'

3. Defenders of the status quo, who've claimed the survey and social media commentary was not indicative of community sentiment, may now see the reality.

4. IMO the overuse of AI in the campaign was unhelpful, unnecessary and not well received.

5. The fact that a ghost candidate who failed to publicly say anything, do anything, attend debates, nor respond to media questions could secure 4% of the vote says a lot about council.

6. The electoral system needs to be overhauled. Councillors wishing to nominate as mayor, should be forced to resign their positions. All vacancies could then be determined at the one election. Good for democracy, financial responsibility, timely outcomes and continued representation.

7. The recently updated vote count is just 65% (26/8 3:21). This gives rise to concerns that a significant number of votes may have been made after the Saturday election. If people wait to see results prior to voting the postal ballot system is fundamentally flawed. It needs to be addressed.

Tablelander's have spoken. With over 50% of the preliminary vote counted, Cardew has close to half of the total vote. While preferences aren't apportioned in the preliminary count, the results speak for themselves. Congratulations Kevin. (Counting is now finished for the day).

Ok, so the TRC luvvies are out and about trying to mislead and dismiss wage and budget concerns. Attached is a graph comparing broad TRC and MSC 2026/2027 budget figures. (Click on graph to see full parameters). Both councils have comparable net community assets: TRC 998 million / MSC 1,009 million. Yet TRC consistently tries to use this figure to cry poor. TRC has been the beneficiary of huge grant money not afforded to MSC. The facts override the BS every time. (Oh and these graphs were done the old fashioned way - no AI used).

Has anyone noticed the plethora of anonymous pro TRC comments on social media over the last few months? Timing is most intriguing.. Always using nicknames. Interestingly, many don't seem to realise that admin can see the identity of the poster. Nor that when defamatory comments are made, media companies can be compelled to release the account owners details. Perhaps only a matter of time until some of these 'anonymous' posters get publicly outed..

The bare facts: TRC wages bill needs to be slashed. No excuses.
Orange: TRC / Blue: MSC

When members of our community feel so ignored they resort to taking out full page advertisments to be listened to - it is clear all confidence has been lost in the organisation.

Well done Gary - much respect!
