LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILLORS - CITIZENSHIP
My question is without notice. Does a person need to be an Australian citizen to become an elected local government councillor? I ask the question because I do not know the answer, and it has been brought to my attention. The PRESIDENT : The Minister for Local Government and Regional Development may answer the question if he wishes. Hon JON FORD
