SHOW CAUSE NOTICE ISSUED TO THE SHIRE OF YORK BY
TONY SIMPSON
Former Victorian baker, Tony Simpson, is now acting as the WA Minister for Local Government and making statements as though he is one short of a baker’s dozen.
He has formally accused Shire of York President, Matthew Reid, of being ‘surreptitious’ (acting in a clandestine, underhand manner) by recording a conversation with the departed and disgraced Chief-Executive-Officer, Michael Keeble.
Mr Reid arguably took this action on the understanding it was to protect himself from obscene verbal abuse from an employee, Michael Keeble, in front of others. Both Coucillor Tony Boyle and Councillor Pat Hooper were allegedly with Keeble at the time. For what reason Boyle and Hooper were in attendance, and any failure by them to act to protect the good name of their Shire President, is another very serious matter indeed.
Within his diatribe, Keeble, used the most derogative word in the English language in besmirching Mr. Reid’s character, for which he has irrefutable evidence- a tape recording.
Although not permissible in a court of law, everyone knows the ugly innuendo (regarding a female’s private parts) which spewed from Mr. Keeble’s foul mouth and those who heard it.

It appears that the
title of Honourable Minister, is lost on Minister Simpson who supports the use
the worst possible obscenity because it is part of a ‘surreptitious’ audio tape
recording.
The many, many people who may read this should consider registering their disgust at such disgraceful behaviour shown by Shire Council representatives and their Minister.
Nothing can be changed other than by Vox Populi ‘the peoples’ voice’- your voice.

Tony Simpson 's a puppet, I doubt he has any inkling what's going on backstage, the Director General, Ms Jennifer Mathews is pulling his strings.
ReplyDeleteThe proposed suspension of the council for up to 6 months will achieve nothing as the same elected members will return and not one question will have been answered. The Fitzgerald Fiasco report raised a large number of issues that relate to ex members or ex employees that have no responsibility to now answer anything from the Shire. The only power to achieve any form of closure on those matters is through either the Minister or the Director General using their powers under Part 8 of the Local Government Act, which apart from providing investigators with compulsive powers, those powers extend to the ex members, ex employees and others associated with the Shire. Part 8 of the Act does not only provide powers, it is also imposes duties on the Minister and/or the Director General to act. But do not hold your breath, the probity audit and the proposed suspension are only smokescreens to hide the fact that no actual action is or will be be taken.
