‘Ridiculous’: North Sydney Council proposes ban on leather and fur at events

The North Sydney Council’s proposal to ban leather and fur at future events is “ridiculous”, former Labor minister Graham Richardson says.

The motion was put forward by Councillor Georgia Lamb, who claimed she was trying to protect the council from cancel culture.

“North Sydney Council has been at this sort of thing for a long time,” Mr Richardson told Sky News Australia.

I think Councils are acting way outside their Jurisdiction, they seem to think they're like a State Government

Council’s need to pull their heads in, they need to get back to the grassroots and do their job, that is fix footpaths and potholes, collect taxes, keep public spaces safe and maintained, if they can not do that SACK THEM ALL, WE ARE SICK TO DEATH OF THE BS, and STAY OUT OF POLITICS

How do they propose to check this? I imagine requesting men remove their belt that holds their trousers up will be problematic.

Another council with dreams of power but got no authority or power 🤡
