Lisa rang Jill Duncan today to hire the Balingup Recreation Centre (managed by BADSA for the Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup) for a quilt-making effort to help people in Japan after the disasters there. She was quoted $8/hr +gst. The local craft group get the hall for about 4hrs for about $20 ie. about $4/hr + gst. Lisa queried why she should be paying double what the craft group pays. Apparently they get the hall for a cheaper rate because they use it every week.
Hmm! Come-on, do only old people get things for cheap in Balingup? What about people trying to do the right thing for people in a desperate situation ?
This is just typical of the type of attitude we come to expect from our UNSUSTAINABLE local government.
