Thread: The results are in

Just 550 people voted in HB (32%) of eligible voters. Imagine if everyone was automatically eligible to vote and region hoping wasn't allowed. Would any election give F&G a mandate to represent us?

imagine there no countries imagine theres no wars IMAGINE
are you suggestig a bit of reverse region hopping as opposed to what was rumoured to have happened in aw and eastern last election tim?

It was really pleasing to see the professional staff from Eastern Region giving scientific advice and helping the council through its decision making processes.

ouch that must be cringe worthy
any eastern councillers present

Would any election give F&G a mandate to represent us?

possibly yes but candidate profile would still be a big part to.

If this becomes a contentious issue outside disgruntled candidates who didn’t get elected, we may well ask the licence holders via the email database what their thoughts are regarding whether its necessary to have a new election, as it’s their money that will be getting spent

meow.jesus dont strain yourselvesshame you didnt think this was a good idea before you made the decision and voted on it.

I'm not suggesting anything, but lets look at the figures. There's about 4,100 license sales in HB but I'll knock 400 off and work with 3700 eligible voters. Only 45% of these people bothered to register. This elections vote return represented 32% of those that expressed an interest or just 14% of license holders in the region. Not much of a mandate.

true enough seems like you,d want to make voting easier or registering to vote compulsory.
but to a point you can lead a gamebirder to the maimai but you cant shoot the ducks for him.
[horse trough analogy]maybe when people realise not voting when they can is the biggest disservice they can do for thier sport it might change. vote cos you can not cos you have to or the right to elect f&g mightent be around to get many more chances.

So the meeting ended in light and love...how jolly...

So the minuted incumbent manager's caution to the council reminding them that there is a statutory obligation to band birds was not agreed to at the time, yet we read $9000 ...the important Mallard Research Project. And was the $6000 for a feasibility study on a fish out pond also out of the discretionary spending wallet...hmmmm

if you keep bringing commonsence into this thread EeeBees your gonna ruin it.
