Co-Governance, Media Failures, and Duncan's Take
About this episode
Duncan Garner discusses the implications of co-governance in local councils and the media's role in informing communities about government actions.
We told you co-governance was alive and kicking in local councils, and now the government has finally stepped in to stop it. While mainstream newsrooms looked the other way, local communities were left in the dark about major agreements affecting their rates and properties. Duncan is joined by Far North councillor Davina Smolders to break down what went wrong and how we fix local government. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
