(Letter to the Editor - from Bruce Devereaux, Gympie Regional Council Division 4 Councillor).
I wanted to vote for a Gympie councillor I thought would do a good job, but I was not allowed to because he did not live in my division. To make things worse, voting is compulsory, so I had to vote for someone who was definitely not my first choice.
Compulsory Donkey Voting - that is what this divisional voting creates. It is unfair. I canât say it is undemocratic, you still get to vote, but the value of your vote is diminished.
The person I thought would be best as a councillor does live in the Gympie region - and I was voting for a Gympie councillor - so why canât I vote for him? I donât really care where my mayor or councillor lives - as long he or she is within a commutable distance to Gympie. I should be allowed to vote for who I think is best for the job.

Subscriber only All but one of Gympie Regional Council s nine councillors has received a better report card from Gympie Times readers at the one year mark, than they were given six months ago. Mayor Glen Hartwig was top of the class with respondents to The Gympie Times online poll, scoring an A-minus for his performance 12 months into his first term in the top job. His result was buoyed by more half of respondents giving him an A (good), which boosted his grade from the B he was given in October last year. The remainder of Mr Hartwig s results were split almost evenly across grades B-E.
Fraudulent and deceptive Gympie regional divisions must go
