Not hair today

Not hair today

SO, it turns out lord mayor Lisa Scaffidi wasn’t getting a hairdo when her official limo was spied outside a Queen Street hairdresser just hours before she announced her re-election campaign (Voice, September 12, 2015).

Instead, we’ve been told — via a complaint letter from council CEO Gary Stevenson — that she’d been on official business at an event nearby. Indeed, a reader kindly got in touch Monday to say he’d been at the same event.

We had emailed the lord mayor and the council’s media team before we went to print, seeking info, but none of them saw fit to fill us in at the time.

According to Mr Stevenson, the lord mayor didn’t respond because “the tone and content of Mr Bell’s email regarding the matter was provocative and disrespectful… and did not warrant the courtesy of a response”.

He pointed out the lord mayor’s vehicle is authorised to park in the city under local laws and it doesn’t pay fees since they’d only be going back to the city anyway.

    It’s the first time I’m visiting this website and, I sense a sort of attack towards the Lord Mayor in this article.

    My wife fixes her hair every morning as most ladies do. Clearly, the person that wrote this has never been married and may know little about the importance of a woman’s inner being.

    The amount of work that this woman has to deal with actually give’s her a right to get some time to relax and, when women get their hair and nails done, It is also a time for them to unwind and relax. This is actually a good thing as it helps one’s mental health. Please stop looking at things from one perspective. Open up your mind.

    It’s much better to build as a team and give constructive criticism. The heading of this article is clearly meant to be malicious or it would have read different. I would not respond either!

    We should celebrate that Perth has a mayor that take’s time to look after herself and represent the city not only locally but internationally and compete favorably too. The tall Poppy Syndrome is a bad one. We don’t have to accept it because of people that lack self esteem.

    Can we celebrate success for a change?
