Specifically, I refer to Notice of Motion two, MLHD Appointment of Orthopedic Surgeons where mayor Dal Broi refused to allow the mover of motion an opportunity to amend his motion allowed in OLG-Council Meeting Procedures page 33 Section 10.7.
In councillors defeating the motion, Griffith City Council has said to the community it does not wish to lobby Government for Orthopedic Services at Griffith Base Hospital which constitutes a huge dereliction on of one council’s key roles to ‘lobby Government on behalf of the community for an improvement in services’.
A very poor outcome Griffith City Councillors.

I attended to the Griffith City Council meeting of Tuesday 9th September 2018, and I was disgusted at the way our mayor with his bullying of councillors which is just inappropriate and unacceptable.
Councillor Napoli was let down by nine other councillors, as the councillors should have stood up to a bullying mayor whom I believe was trying to intimidate a female and attempted to degrade her in public.
I felt so strongly about the unacceptable behaviour that I made my opinion known from the public gallery, and the mayor lost his control and started on me.
As I have been attending meetings of council and have also observed the bullying behaviour of both the mayor and the general manager towards certain councillors, councillors have the right to be heard and respected as elected representatives of the community, and the respect should start with the mayor
It appears that the mayor’s bullying behaviour and snide remarks is directed towards those who do not agree with him, we as a community deserve better leadership.

TOUCH OF BOLLYWOOD AT MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL
On Saturday 13 October 2018 I sang a Bollywood movie song in the Griffith Multicultural Festival. The English translation of the song is as below;
You are heartless about my heart but I am proud of my heart
Whether you agree or not the people will definitely agree about our love
It is my fondness for you or a drink of love
If you don’t recognise it it means there is some defect in your eye-sight
My heart is committed to you my heart only loves you
Whether you come to Australia or not I shall be waiting for you in Australia
It is my fondness for you or a drink of love
If you don't recognise it it is due to the defect in your eye-sight
If you do not come I shall be dead under such miserable conditions
After my death cry as much as you like I shall not return from heaven
It is my fondness for you or a drink of love
If you don't recognise it is due to the defect in your eye -sight
After I sang the song the audience loudly cheered.
Amar Jit Singh, Griffith
