Jerk* of the week: Robert Doyle
So the Melbourne City Council Elections are a bit of a fraud really. Residents get one vote, businesses in the City of Melbourne get 2… and that’s how failed State Liberal Leader became the Mayor of the City of Melbourne.
Fortunately I no longer live in the City of Melbourne, but the idea of putting cars back on Swanston st is about the dubest idea there is. So is creating cheap parking on the outskirts of the CBD. He thinks that too much city traffic is generate from people circling to find a park. What a joke, even the RACV, the most pro-car organisation there is, thinks it’s a bad idea.
So for being a right-wing, closed minded Mayor-elect, you are JERK OF THE WEEK!
An honourary mention goes to co-councillor Carl Jetter who was reelected on Doyle’s ticket who said the problem was cyclists, not cars on Swanston St:
“I am sick of being run down by cyclists again and again,’’ he said, calling for bicycles to use Russell Street instead.
* Yes I know it started off as Tool of the week but it’s my blog and I’ve decided to make it Jerk of the week.

“Jerk” is a much better word. Wise move

I seriously think some young pranksters should make some cardboard car costumes and zoom around him anytime he tries to walk anywhere and see how quickly he gets pissed off by it.
