Colin Wallace asked the following:
Cr Stretch Kontelj in the Geelong Advertiser last Friday 6th February 2015 has a bit to say about Keith Fagg and why he resigned as Mayor.
In the lead-up to the by-election that followed Keith Fagg’s resignation, Jock Irvine, councillor for Austin Ward and a candidate for the mayoral position, said on November 8th 2013 in an interview on Bay FM radio that Keith Fagg had told him: if I had twelve councillors like you, Jock, I’d still be there.
Cr Stretch Kontelj, the longest serving councillor and deputy mayor during most of the Keith Fagg mayoralty, says he was aware of rough treatment given to Mayor Keith Fagg, but fails to mention if he did anything about it. What did Cr Stretch Kontelj do about it?
Cr S Kontelj responded he was not going into any further debate and suggested contact be made with Keith Fagg for his response. Keith Fagg is entitled to take up the issue himself as he always was and still is.
