Some days are good, some days are great. It's a great day today because Elise Chapman the former Councillor in Bendigo just got an almighty slapping in this VCAT decision (pdf). Although technically she doesn't get punished in any way because she's no longer a councillor, it sheds light on the wacky goings on.

The TL;DR is that she had a very questionable twitter argument involving her views on Islam and female genital mutilation while serving as a councillor, and, together with her ongoing battles with the Council on a range of issues, almost certainly breached a code of conduct she didn't even sign, accused the council of trickery and fraud and could say anything she liked if she said her views were her own on a council twitter account.

She got a handful of votes at the following council elections because everyone is sick of her.

It probably passes the pub test in the "if I were a politician I too would exploit this loophole" sense. Realistically most people are unlikely to turn down free money.

Was there ever anyone under the belief that the pub test was anything more than a rhetorical device to make subjective statements seem more objective? Even the most sycophantic members of the press gallery gave it little credence. It always turned into a joke of which pub, and who's drinking at it. Which is to say the pub is parliament, and the person drinking at it is the politician making the judgement.
