TO THE VERY LAST CHANCE SALOON

The Forrest Bankruptcy Bar & Cashless Café- the time for cheap shots is over- let’s have some expensive ones.

The world’s best restaurant for 2017 is the many Michelin starred ‘Eleven Madison Park, New York, USA’, featuring nouveau Euro- American creations where the lucky diners lick their plates clean.

The world’s most expensive restaurant for the next 50 years is the Forrest Bar & Café, York, WA, featuring good old-fashioned, homeless-style cuisine for which all unlucky ratepayers get their wallets cleaned out.

Three of the co-owners of this fine diner may find they pay the ultimate fine by losing their seats at the next Local Government Election and the new state government is starting to hunt down Senior Local Government Officers who go missing in action by ensconcing themselves in another, usually country shire, after being crème-d by the WACCC.

As is not uncommon within local government ranks in this day and age, the replacement CEO at Mukinbudin, Dirk Sellenger, although probably not involved with the WACCC, left his former shire of Mount Marshall under a cyclone.

On his grumpy ‘Emoji’ Facebook page Mr Sellenger describes others as “low life pieces of shit”.
It is assumed he is referring to the Shire of Mount Marshall councillors or former colleagues.

The Shire of York may find itself being a governmental main course, even with some DLGC eliminations- just like on My Kitchen Rules.

Another unfortunate sign of the times is the opening page of the Shire of York’s new website “Welcome Shire of York”. There are two potential explanations for this. One could be that the shire is being welcomed somewhere else or it could not afford the additional cost for “The”.

The very first screen link on the website is “Pay Online” that could explain everything!

GRATUITIES & TIPS.

The tip is for the Shire of York to get out of the pub game now as rules may change.

Remember a Bar & Café by any other name is a Tavern, the Licence for which you should never have been granted and there could be serious legal ramifications down the line. (That is unless you have changed the Licence? Otherwise if it quacks it is a f…king duck.)

This Licence ended up as being a vote grabbing political gift from former Minister, Terry Waldron, around the time of the 2013 State Election and the new government knows that.

One thing that could happen is the revisiting of the Liquor Control Act 1988 that is thirty years out of date and exactly what your obligations really are regarding local government ownership of a Tavern Licence without even going into aspects such as Competitive Neutrality.

It comes down to what privately owned taverns must provide to their customers without being in breach of their Licence, compared to what the Shire of York provides, not what makes $200,000 per annum.

Maybe you should make some enquiries with the new Minister for Liquor & Gaming, Paul Papalia? Others certainly will.

He is also the new Minister for Tourism and the question will be asked what financial damage has the Forrest Bar & Café (Tavern) had on tourism related businesses in York. You can count on that.

These questions are not rhetorical, and I expect an answer to this, to me, by no later than 5pm (WST) April 27, 2017.
