From what Rick says, this is not the first 'squeeze' Tony.
Seems our forebears did things far better. They were able to build court houses , police stations and town halls and also staff them on a much smaller population base. Councillors were unpaid and budgets balanced.
The Newcastle Mayor says they are 29 million dollars in debt if I heard correctly. How the hell does that happen? Not overnight that's for sure. Don't see how that could sneak up and bite them on the bum.
