LTCCP: PURE PORKIES

It has become crystal clear that one hand of the Nelson City council hasn't got a clue what it's other hand is doing.
Councils left hand is abusing and accusing every man and his dog, claiming that they have provided the requested data, about the financial consequences of taking their ridiculously dangerous mortgage holiday of last resort.
But another day on, and this very information has still not been provided. Instead council's right hand has categoricaly denied that any such information exists and, nor has any been researched, prepared, released or provided to anyone inside council, let alone anyone outside council.
Yesterday council released another statement saying that,
"[Council] have never provided the information [that has been] asked for as it would be a major exercise as it was continually changing."
So who is telling the flying porkies in this saga, council's left hand or their right hand.
It is now patently obvious that no such data exists, and if that is the case then clearly council had, and still has, absolutely no understanding or appreciation of the ruinous financial consequences and implications of this catastrophic holiday from hell or this ruinous LTTCP.
At the very least, that ignorance is disastrously imprudent, let alone in breach of the legislative requirements.
Council are putting up smoke screens everywhere and their wide spread abuse of all and sundry, is a telling symptom and indication, that they have neglected, and are in default of their required fidicuary duties and responsibilities.
This council must now either ditch this negligent and stunningly irresponsible and totally unnecessary, $112 million dollar disaster, or resign.
