"Politician's stated arguments are not based on their own reasoning, but on their estimation of their constituents reasoning."

"Hi Kim, I'm not trying to argue for or against amalgamation, just pointing out another Gibson leaps of logic, just so we all know what level of intellect and reasoning ability we're dealing with here."

"I can see arguments for and against amalgamation. The borders are over 100 years old now and you have huge disparities. Hunters Hill council has 13,000 residents but City of Blacktown has 300,000 (more than the Northern Territory!) So a bit of…"

"Exactly. I would not worry about her too much, she is an idiot & not much that she spouts will happen."

"the mayor is got to be joking "

"Now I see what you are doing (Dohhh). Good Idea!!"

"Troll thread burial strategy."

"Exactly right. No large and/or reputable transport organisation supports registering bikes. NRMA, RMS, they all know its not a starter. But that means the North Sydney mayor can have all her grumpy residents on her side by saying "if…"

"I think it's just dog whistling by the mayor. Besides general whinging to the press is she actually bothering to lobby the state government, who are the only ones that could bring in cyclist registration. I doubt they will list to one maverick…"
