Pangallo to bat for other side?

Pangallo has been under investigation by the NSW Government because the current City Council General Manager has told him to pull his head in, behave and comply with his proper roles and responsibiliites as Mayor. The NSW Government is watching very closely to make sure he does not step out of line otherwise they will step in. He’s on the nose of the Labour Party, they don’t want him, he ran against the Labour Party in the late 90’s and they dumped him as a candidate in the last Federal election. In fact he got offered a cushy job with the NSW Local Government Grants Commission not to run. Pangallo is 68 he’s over the hill. He is despised by council staff and large sections of the community because of his high handedness and ongoing practice of looking after his mates. I think Stanhope will give him a job before the election so he doesn’t run in the ACT elections and Cranky Franky can spend his days funded by the ACT taxpayer, now wouldn’t that be a hoot!!

What’s the bet Pangallo has done a deal with Labor. They appoint him Speaker in return for his support. $160,000 plus and perks will go done well for cranky franky as he approaches his retirement years.

Interesting story in the Queanbeyan Age last Friday about some of Franks wrong-doings in Council. The NSW government is not too impressed.

Well it would seem that he tried to join the Community Alliance Party a few weeks ago but they would not have him as he was a ‘professional politician’. Good on them as the last thing they would want as a new party would be to have the baggage that frank has built up in the past 10 years associated with them. I wonder if he tried to join the motorist party or Richard Mulcahy party ? I thought that he was under investigation at the moment by the NSW gov for all sorts of stuff?

Some people say that QBN has down well under the leadership of Frank but I know that many would disagree. If you look at the breakdown of services in the City as well as the lack of consultation you would have to see frank as QBN’s Stanhope. Just look at the guys record over the past 10 years, its appalling. I think that the real reason that frank is not standing for the local government election in QBN in September is the fact that he was very likely to get rolled by Tim overall and his team seeing that every one in the City wanted him to go. Besides he would want to stand as a an independent wit the new amendments that Stanhope has put through on the electoral act.

It will be interesting to see what focus he places on Tralee and the airport.

So Ant believes Queanbeyan has “gone ahead in leaps and bounds”.

Really, well the facts are that under Pangallo, Queanbeyan has gone backwards. Most of the senior staff at the Council have resigned in frustration and disgust, chiefly because of Pangallo.

The main street and surrounds have tons of empty run-down shops. He and his cronies in Council have stifled a number of developers and investors who have attempted to develop properties in the CBD. They have all walked away from the city in disgust.

Instead of moving on and developing Googong, Pangallo has spent most of his and Queanbeyan’s money and resources fighting the Canberra Airport over Trailee. His actions here could eventually cause more air traffic over the ACT (where he now wishes to represent). If he is elected I am sure he will continue his vendetta against the Canberra Airport.

Talk to the local businessmen. They are crying out for more semi-industrial land and Pangallo has done nothing about planning for the future. Many have had to relocate out of Queanbeyan.

Many people around Queanbeyan also would like know why Pangallo quickly resigned from Council and moved away from Queanbeyan for a year or two after some ‘impropriety’ at a local club.

In NSW

If he’s a member of the Labor party then he’s not allowed to run as an independent. Party members are committed to support the preselected party candidates.

Just another Labor party stooge to get more voes for them. i mean to say he is a member of the labor party.

@thumper

I would have thought it was more like rat jumping onto a sinking ship

Maybe, yeah. possibly. Meanwhile, let’s use his talents! We need them.
