Ron's a nut
Surf Coast Councilor Ron Humphrey is at it again, and this time he has completely and utterly lost the plot.
Ron is one of those conservatives who hates "greenies", but he went way over the top when he suggested a group of elderly bush carers were terrorists.
Ron's terrorist group is called AngAir, and unlike other terrorist groups, you can join on-line.
The average age of this bush care/terror organisation is 70 and they meet every Monday morning for weed clearing, planting, nature walks, and heavy weapons training. And at least two of them have full beards.
It's good that Ron has warned everyone about this group's shadowy agenda because they are holding their annual training camp next week. I certainly hope ASIO are on the case, because those are no ordinary native orchids.
I thought this man's stupidity had reached it's zenith, but I was wrong. Ron out did his ANGAIR=TERRORISTS effort on Tuesday.
Ron spent the morning doing interviews for his anti-nude beaches campaign. Ron was busy. MMM. 3AW, 774, and ABC TV news all got quotes. Wonder if he used a shire car for his trip to Melbourne?
After returning to the coast Ron sat through 2 hours of briefings and never mentioned he was feeling unwell.
And then it was time for the official council meeting. Everyone knew that three of the councilors were on holiday but that still left six for the meeting.
The Mayor, a charming lady named Libby Meares was then called away to a genuine family emergency.
That left 5. Still enough for a quorum but a new chair was required.
A vote ensured Liberal Ron didn't get the nod. The chair went to a Labor councilor.
All of a sudden Ron was struck down with a mystery illness and just couldn't hang around for two minutes to pass a routine audit motion. He was just too ill.
The meeting was abandoned because, for the first time in shire history, a quorum no longer existed.
But here is the bizarre bit. Ron had rung the shire CEO on Friday claiming he felt unwell and may not be able to make the meeting three days later. Didn't stop his Tuesday morning media commitments though.
And while Ron was too unwell to attend the meeting, he did manage to go home and inform the local paper of his "illness". Yeah when I go home sick, the first thing I do is ring a local reporter.
Good news though, Ron's sudden "stomach virus" cleared rapidly and he was able to attend meetings the following morning.
If anyone knows of a more bizarre elected official in Australia, please tell me.

Sorry. I can't help you out. That's the bizzarest act I've ever seen...
That's an hilarious piece. I still want this guy sacked and penalised. As if Surf Coast Shire isn't in enough trouble with mismanagement of affairs! I'll pounce on him the moment he is foolish enough to pop up in the Geelong Advertiser.
Ready and waiting.
As someone who blasts others on a regular basis in the media, Ron certainly opens himself up.
BLL,
Given the reference to Geelong Addy in your following piece (FFS), is that the reason why we can't get Geelong Addy to tear-up Cr Ron?
I've seen the emails - this man should be shamed and ashamed!
Hi Bendigo,
Is that the email that claims Angair is a terrorist org and that Ron is also concerned about the minimal rent on their office.
Dammit why can't Al qaida have an office. They would be so much easier to find.
What a nutter!
One only has to look at the record of the COGG council, John Mitchell and David Saunderson are both guilty of this sort of issue. Both at separate times not attending meetings where they may incriminate themselves by being seen to change their vote from the previous casting.
Vested interest is rife in every electorate, we are going through the era of Imanutcase (or could that read Imanutgate?)
