Interested Council Election results:
Why do I have an interest? Simply Blacktown City Council is where I have lived for 29 years of my life and got to know former Councilors and current ones.
With Penrith City Council, Sue day former co-advocate for Western Sydney Public Transport Users I have an ineterest in, as she ran for Council 3-4 times has been persistant and made it, increasing her votes each time.
Shoalhaven City Council - it is where I live and will live for the rest of my life. Ineterest in advocacy raises interest in politics and the people that reperesent the people. People do not realise how much presssure our representatives have in all forms of government, being in the lime light.
Blacktown City Council Election:
2016 Party Result: Labor 10, Liberal 5
2021 Party Result: Labor 10, Independent 5
Here Stephen Bali doesn't recontest his Ward 4 seat as he is the State Member of Blacktown. Liberal Party didn't endorse any of the candidates as in previous years. Jes Diaz is re-elected as an independent. Can't see his son evene running for Council this time. PeterCamileri moves from Ward 5 as an endorsed Liberal in 2016 to an independent in Ward 4. Labor, Carol Israel, Labor Party elected 2nd term in Ward 4 and is te leader of her tocket as she is re-elected. Mayor Tony Bleasedale, Labor Party sweeps in Ward 5 elected and BRad Bunting is re-elected quite easily in wsame ward. Allan Green is back into Council as a Independent In Ward 3 with Labor Party Councilors Susai Benjamin and Cathy Collins.
Basically, we have Labor hold 10 out 15 Council seats and the 5 Liberal Council seats became Liberal - mot much of a change.
Penrith City Council results
2016 Party Result: Liberal 5, Labor 7, Independents 3
2021 Party Result: Liberal 6, Labor 5, Independents 4
*Sue Day has smashed the election in The South Ward. A ward where there is 2 Liberals, 2 Independents and 1 Labor Councilors. And it appears she might have picked up a seat from Labor.
It seems that Independents will be very crucial to electing a Mayor and Deputy Mayor and maybe Sue Day may even have her chance at being elected as Mayor.
* Former Western Sydney co-advocate for public transport
Shoalhaven City Council results
2016 Party Result:
Shoalhaven Independents 5, Country Labor Party 1, Green 4, Independents 3
2021 Party Result:
Shoalhaven Independents 4, Greens 4, Labor Party 2 Undecided 3
(Includes: Green Elected Maror)
Interested in Ward 2, where there are new candidates running in the Ward, two of them has been elected John Kotlash (Labor Party) and Evan Christen from the Greens. The next candidate that could be elected is Mitchell Pakes from the Shoalhaven Independents retaining his seat or newly elected Paul Ell Independent. Former Federal Member Fiona Gash, did not stand for Council in Ward 2 so that leaves it open - who gets her seat?
Greens have retained their numbers on Council even though former Ward 1 Councilor Nina Digiglio left the Greens and only stood as a candidate for Mayor. Labor Party have increased their numbers with a possibility on a further seat in Ward 1, with Shoalhaven Independents possibly losing one seat it could look like Shoalhaven Independents 4, Labor Party 3, Greens 3, Independent 1.
Further update 22/12/21: the results are as follows:
Shoalhaven Independents Group 4,Greens 4 including the Mayor, Labor 3, Independents 2
So, from the 2016 Council Election results, we can see that Shoalhaven Independents have a reduced seat on council by 1 to 4 Councilors, Labor Party have increased their seats on Council by 2 to 3 Councillors, Greens have maintained their seats on Council to 4 members and finally, Independents have lost 1 seat down to 2 seats on Council. Thus the pendulum swings here. So it is going to be interesting how deals will be made for the Deputy Mayor and how Council passes motions as a team in Council, unless the Greens and Shoalhaven Independents work together on motions, it won't be so much of a roller coaster. This is for the next three years and we will see how this works out.
