Last week there was a tip on Crikey.com that following the federal election the NSW government would move to force amalgamation of New South Wales councils. Some examples were given in Sydney involving three councils in the St George area, three in the middle west and others in the Parramatta area.
Only a tip, but I have to say it was expected. I believe that separating the State and Local govt elections by 18 months, as occurred over the last two terms of councils has set the scene for this. The last attempt by Tony Kelly as LG Minister in 2003 was botched, at least in metropolitan Sydney. Let's wait and see what happens. Might be out in the cold by Christmas.
