And it just so happens that our local government has blatantly short-changed items requiring public consultation since we were shoved off the edge in 2020, free-falling into a ‘new reality’ they are creating for us. They do this by way of obscure, fast-tracked (mere days instead of weeks) and digital-only notifications, followed by a digital meeting. Effectively excluding 99% of the population who had their heads down working and never knew. And even if they caught it dashing by, very few here in the rural spaces are familiar or comfortable with Zoom meetings. Typically, out of 60,000 population less than 15 would find their way there, and -wait for it- some of those are civic summer students or employees. Boom! Implied Consent-passed-moving on. It’s a racket. An Implied Consent racket stealing our voices.
