about the effects of COVID restrictions which cancelled last year’s event, here’s hoping the festivities of 2021 will all but make up for it and they’ll keep their winning certificates forever. Judging by the look of those spectacular biscuits though, they’re not likely to see the other side of Sunday.

DUBBO Regional Council’s internal issues continue to spiral, with Monday night’s committee meetings cancelled due to a lack of quorum. The embattled organisation is set to review its Code of Conduct policy after an influx of complaints involving claims of bullying, harassment and abuse of power. In his report tabled at last week’s ordinary meeting, CEO Dean Frost said Council will engage a suitably qualified independent advisor in the coming weeks to begin the process despite the budget not stretching to further investigation. “There are no provisions in Council’s current budget for an independent investigator. Funds allocated for Code of Conduct matters have been expended,” Mr Frost stated. However, he explained that there is a heightened focus on Council’s Code of Conduct processes at present, with an unprecedented number of complaints being received. A total of 28 complaints have been received in the current council term (23 since March this year).
