"So then you should become Australian and abide by the customs of Australia, not change Australia to suit your customs from another country."
What is this relic from the Howard years doing in a council? Piss off and take some diversity lessons asshole. People come here because Australia is tolerant and embraces diversity. How is changing 1 swimming pool (out of the 4 in the area that have already done so) changing an entire nation? As the head of the Ratepayers Association, he should already be aware that more pools have already footed the bill without whinging about it. What else do people pay rates for?
I wrote him an email about this. See if he responds.
