I got a pamphlet thingy from my local councillor where she's whinging about proposed high density housing. She included a link to a (state) government consultation page on it. But their consultation and public opinion process closed 3 months ago. This pamphlet was most certainly not in there on Wednesday, so it can't be an old one.

Also, what's with the photos ministers and councillors put on their propaganda/advertising material? Why do they always look like robots trying to be humans? I don't think anytime I've ever received their photos they actually looked like normal people. Reminds me of zuckerburg. It's uncanny.
