Cr Johnston on her usual soapbox about stormwater drainage. She points out that just last year Cr Aderman asked for money for a memorial and he got it this year. But residents in her area have been waiting over a decade for stormwater upgrades, and still no funding.

Her amendment is voted down by the LNP and abstained from by Labor and Cr Massey.

How come this got voted down? I would have thought stormwater upgrades were fairly important?

Cr Johnston is the independent Councillor for Tennyson Ward. She used to be a member of the LNP, until she left the party rather acrimoniously about a decade ago. She's had a huge chip on her shoulder against the LNP ever since, and the feeling is mutual.

They'll vote down basically anything she brings, regardless of its merit.

Im glad she’s on the subject. Our area was flooded due to stormwater drainage backed up. I’m in her area and she’s great.
