Council elections
Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (10:40): I would like to congratulate John Dougall, the new mayor of Mitchell Shire Council, and councillor Bob Cornish as the new deputy mayor. Also, congratulations to the Liberals for the Melbourne city ticket led by Mariam Riza, and congratulations to Owen Guest on his election. It was great to see, at least on primary, the Liberal Party both above the Greens and, I think, triple the Labor Party’s vote, so a great result there, and it is great to see a majority centre-right Melbourne City Council.
