Charades used by politicians

The "plan" to hold full Council Meetings in the suburbs (Peninsula News, 23 Jul) is typical of the charades used by politicians (at every level of government) to distract attention from actual problems.

Quite apart from the tokenistic futility, has it been fully costed?

I'd suggest not; but cost to the community is rarely a high priority for politicians.

When the Tasmanian State Government introduced these Propaganda Caravans over three decades back, I decided to list actual significant results from them.

Unless one counts PR for politicians, there were none.

But the caravans roll on, and new ones are suggested.
