MODERATORS
In speaking to the amendment, Cr Wines says that because of Cr Johnston's concerns, his amendment is going to call for another speed limit review after just 2 years instead of their normal minimum of 5 years, and that this is him taking the concerns very seriously.
~~Personally, I actually agree with him on this. There are clearly problems with how the speed limit review process works, but I believe council is required by law to follow it, and their willingness to at least try it again now is not a bad thing.~~
edit: see below. This is not true, and it's really weak from the LNP.
Cr Johnston says that actually no, engineers do not have to be consulted to sign off on speed limit reductions, as seen in Boundary Rd, Camp Hill.
She quotes from Cr Adams, speaking on a speed limit reduction made for the safety of koalas.
Says a clearly emotional Cr Johnston.
Cr Wines was clearly not saying the truth when he said "I value human life the highest". Suggests Cr Johnston.
Unfortunately the potentially beneficial nature of their amendment is vastly overshadowed by some appalling bullying from Crs Wines, Murphy, and even the Chair of Council Cr Toomey, towards Cr Johnston.
