It is good to see some candidates have been re-elected Long-time councillors such as Dawn Crichlow, Eddy Sarroff, Jan Grew, Peter Young, Daphne McDonald, Bob La Castra and Ted Shepherd have all won comfortably.

Also after meeting Donna Gates on March 10 2008, who though small in size has a great personality. Donna took over former deputy mayor David Power in Division 2 in October 2007 and maintained her seat.

It is good the newcomers were given a fair chance and voted in by you the public they were Margaret Grummitt in Parkwood and pro-green candidate John Wayne in Division 1.

We do NOT agree with the fact that: Political analysts said the aggressive and well-funded Unite GC and Liberal campaigns fractured the vote and effectively cruelled each other’s chance of overturning the incumbents. We see it as people are always cautious about new things and uniteGC was one of them. As for the liberals problems well you just have to think they are responsible for the 3 letter word GST!

We were even tempted to break tradition and vote 1 liberal for mayor but, we could not betray a acquaintance and friend Rob Molhoek. Even though you will see at the related links below he is not perfect neither is everyone else and he was the best choice as his vote 1 rob4mayor & unitegc campaigns made the most sense.

There are a lot of problems with regard to pre polling and postal voting. Many of our friends have had a lot of problems not being able to get through to find out where to vote or what happened with postal vote from the ECQ.

We agree with the fact that: There is enough serious concern out there that Warrants a full review of the conduct of this 2008 Gold coast city council election so the same mistakes are not made again. a lot of problems are needed to sorted, then find solutions so that they don’t reoccur.

Seems as though the council should have been consulted more thoroughly before the state government took over not knowing what to do.

Mr Hallam said: "This is the first time ECQ have run the election," Mr Hallam said: "Councils have run it beforehand and they have much more particular localised knowledge about the elections."
