But let's be clear; appointing two representatives from a large organisation, which is a very successful business organisation, a very successful organisation, on to a democratically elected council who is tasked with making plans and rules and making decisions over how people use their land, making decisions as to how public funds collected from ratepayers and taxpayers are used. Appointing unelected people on to what would otherwise be a council of 14 elected people is fundamentally wrong. It is not a legitimate way to operate a democracy.
