I don't understand how some of his votes on the metro council do not constitute a conflict of interest. I remember last year he voted not to allow the Time Out Lounge to build their new bar in the Southdowns area (which is fine by me), but since that time he has opened two more bars and now plans on opening a third that will be at least partially competing with the Southdowns area?


It's absolutely a conflict of interest. If he had any class he would step aside on issues like those, but it didn't happen. And he obviously got away with it.

If all politicians did this, we'd be leaderless.

Hmm.. Not a bad idea now that I think about.
But seriously, almost every politician with business ventures does shite like that from US Senators to BR Council.
