On the Roundup today… 9000 ballot packs go missing in the South Gippsland Shire Council election; a CEO talks about being trolled over a mandatory vaccination stance for staff; the deamalgamation question set to be put to residents of Inner West council; and opposition builds to a new waste from energy facility in New South Wales.

Just some of what’s ahead on the Roundup, which is brought to you by the Victorian Local Governance Association, an independent governance organisation supporting councils and councillors to achieve the highest standards of governance;

And by Hunt & Hunt Lawyers – providing advice to help Councils achieve the best for their communities.
