 The Sydney Morning Herald reports that he may have once been a bad boy for love but the diminutive tattooed rocker
Angry Anderson thinks he would be good for the people of Warringah.
Gary
"Angry" Anderson is one of 87 people standing for Warringah Council at
the September 13 local government elections, including 12 who would
like to wear the mayoral robes.
The lead singer of the rock band Rose Tattoo, who has lived on the
northern beaches of Sydney for 22 years, might be best known for his
rock'n'roll antics but he will have plenty of competition in the bad
behaviour stakes.
Even before nominations closed on Wednesday,
the candidates lining up to serve Warringah for the first time since
the council was sacked six years ago had been slinging mud.
Some
of the councillors sacked in 2002, after a government inquiry found the
council was divided and dysfunctional beyond the point of recovery,
have put their hands up for another go, including the former mayor
Julie Sutton. But they have been criticised by their former colleagues
as having too much baggage. The council has form, having been sacked
three times since 1967.
The slanging much has even spilled over
to the popular online encyclopedia site Wikipedia, where an entry on
Warringah Council has been altered more than 40 times this year, in
some instances to change details about the sacked councils and their
elected officials.
