Amazing the stories you can find online. Here's one, found in the Hansard, and it is a tale of intrigue and power, a tale some say is slipping the attention of the press. Pet abductions, charges over dirty budgie cages and the wobbily question of whether or not a doghouse should or should not be stuffed with straw, even if the dog hates straw. Pretty scary stuff, boys and girls, and standing up to it to demand some accountability is our own ex-Mayor Carl Noble:

"I would like to provide some examples of what I think needs serious improvement; and I conclude with five brief recommendations that I believe would improve the legislation and the thrust of what we are trying to achieve"
