Whilst Murrindindi Shire can not comment directly on a planning application before it is heard before council they can provide a statement to the media, such as “We are unable to comment.” Council has chosen not to and questions need to be asked as to why.
Another media outlet – that would have once run all these reports – hasn’t done so or published “anti-council” reports since gaining a council advertising contract. Questions need to be asked as to why.
