In support of his delusions of standing for the liberal party, Mayor Harriman wants to look tough on crime, and this is the best his puppets could come up with? Boom boxes blasting Vivaldi’s Four Seasons—because, yeah, that’s definitely going to fix the problems facing Morwell CBD. At Mondays Council meeting, instead of funding a proven community connector program that actually helps people and reduces crime, Cr Sharon Gibson, Cr Party Pie Pugsley, and Cr Geelong Campbell are pushing this classical music nonsense. No scientific evidence, no logic—just another stunt. And Campbell’s random story about a knife hold-up? What’s the point? Are we supposed to believe Mozart would’ve saved the day? Let’s not forget Cr Sharon Gibson had a run-in with the law last year, getting arrested over the Traralgon letter drop. Maybe if she’d had Beethoven playing, she would have made better decisions? Then you’ve got Cr Barnes ( not sure if he knew what they were talking about) and Mayor Harriman himself backing this farce, voting against a real solution because, and I quote, “no one under 30 likes classical music.” That’s their justification for ignoring the dangers facing Morwell residents, shoppers and businesses, refusing to fund an effective prevention program. The people of Morwell want real action on crime. Instead, these councillors are more interested in filling their pockets with expenses and blasting Beethoven like it’s a magic spell. It’s a joke. They are a joke.
