It appears the Cr. Lipshutz just can’t help himself. First there was the ‘no we didn’t receive the Friends of Caulfield Park submission’ even though it appeared in clowncil minutes and there was a signed receipt issued, and now we have the following howler as reported this week by the Glen Eira Leader. I quote: “He (ie Lipsshutz) said while Glen Eira had the highest numer of attacks among neighbouring council areas, few had been in parks. There have been no attacks reported at playgrounds or barbecues”. (Page 3, Leader). What Lipshutz fails to tell the community is that this is bunkum - and he, or those who provide him with this information should know better - or perhaps they already do????? The facts are there for everyone to check out - ie Bayside City Council in its Animal Management Policy recorded 90 attacks; Kingston in its policy stated there were 108 attacks, Monash has also claimed over 100. Glen Eira states that there have been SEVENTY.

Isn’t it about time that clowncil’s spokespeople are forced to accurately report on matters rather than present slanted and false statistics which only support the case they want to make.

Now whether the above is deliberate, or simply a matter of ‘I didn’t know any better’, or “i was misinformed’, is irrelevant. They are paid to know; they are paid to accurately present evidence and hence allow the public to make up its own mind as to the validity of any clowncil decision. This basic principle is severely undermined once more by clowncil’s own ‘big mouth’.
