ffs gore council can't even handle a bit of banter without getting their knickers in a twist

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T02:20:13.000Z

exactly mate. imagine being offended by a word. ppl need to harden up

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T02:12:13.000Z

yeah nah this is a non-issue. councils got real problems to deal with like the potholes on main street

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T02:30:13.000Z

yeah the main street potholes are a joke. council doesn't care about that though

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T02:26:13.000Z

Donna Bruce should be embarrassed honestly. Using that word in 2026? Get with the times love

wrong. language matters. just because you're old doesn't mean you get a pass

as a young person this is exactly why politics turns ppl off. adults bickering like children over stupid comments while real stuff happens

storm in a teacup is right lol imagine being offended by a word that your granddad used unironically

Alex Rivera2026-06-30T03:29:13.000Z

Can't believe they wasted time on this honestly. Just say sorry and move on people

Kai Thompson2026-06-30T03:39:13.000Z

bloody council spending ratepayers money on HR complaints about words. I'd rather them fix the footpaths

Cameron Diaz2026-06-30T04:06:13.000Z

so they did nothing? typical. slap on the wrist for archaic behaviour

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T04:16:13.000Z

donna bruce needs to go. if she can't speak professionally then she shouldn't be representing anyone
