You can check who your candidates are for the upcoming local government elections here, in NSW: https://elections.nsw.gov.au/elections/local-government-elections/2024-nsw-local-government-elections#accordion-who-are-the-candidates I think it’s important to point out from a governance point of view, whether it’s federal, State or local government, elected leaders don’t ‘run’ the country/State/town. Their role is to be the community liaison point. Their officials run things, thousands of them with specific expertise. When elected leaders attack officials, that’s called populism. What that means is that societies end up not run at all. Which is why things are now such a mess.
