It is with disgust that I have heard today that the New Year's fireworks and Crab Fest have been cancelled. Why? I listened to mayor's comments on the radio and I would assume many others are disappointed to hear this too. Not once in the mayor's interview did he give a clear indication of the reasons why. In fact Mayor, you contradicted yourself on a few occasions. Can you explain how we can have COVID-friendly family events when you are canceling two family events? You also talked about bringing business into Mandurah, when in fact what you and the council have done is the opposite. People of Mandurah will no longer trust that any event will go ahead. The visitors that normally come will feel the same; and in fact you will be sending them to more friendly towns and cities - Rockingham being one of them. The people of Mandurah have put up with so much this year and have done so with such nobility. Everyone I have spoken to was looking forward to the end of 2020 and bringing in 2021 with a fun-filled evening with friends and families; ending with a sky filled with colour, allowing us to smile and hope for a better year ahead.
