Anti Authoritarian
What the hell happens behind closed doors at Weipa town HQ?
I've been getting a lot of negative reports about the Weipa Town Office ... sorry, forgot the name change - Weipa Town Authority.
The problem with the WTA is that they have all the bureaucratic bullshit of a typical town council, with one exception ... you can't vote this mob out.
I guess the solution is for the town to get off their collective arses and make some noise. And now seems like a pretty good time. There's been a sizable take-up on sales of company houses to employees plus a huge group of home owners in New Nanum - which means there's lots of real residents.
Real residents = RATE PAYERS
So if you have an issue with anything that is or isn't being done in the best interest of the town then fire us off an email ... we'll be happy to draft up a scathing letter and send it off to the WTA.
We'll also post it to BHP/Chinalco/Alcoa/Rio/Alcan or whoever the hell this town will belong to by mid-year!

While you can't vote them out you can vote them in. Poor turn outs at the elections is seen as all is going well and everyone is happy.
In fact in a normal town you can't vote them out either, what you get on the 15th March you get for 4 years be careful, very careful.
In any council you get candidates standing, some that care for the town and ask what they can do for the town, others to beware of, ask what can the town do for me.
