The relevant council minutes can be found here in case you're in the Cumberland LGA and wanted to know how your local councillors voted: https://cumberland.infocouncil.biz/Open/2024/05/C_01052024_MIN_3134_WEB.html

The relevant item is: Min.729 - C05/24-506 Adoption of Library Strategy 2024 - 2027 - Post Exhibition

Whilst this coming from Christou is entirely unsurprising (it seems my days of putting him and the rest of his OLC chums at the bottom of my ballot are certainly coming to a middle), I was disappointed to see that Cummings voted in favour as well.

He had seemed to be a solid independent candidate, but this has tarnished him and I won't be voting for him in future.

Also worth noting - whilst the Labor councillors were the only ones who voted against this and most of them did - one did cross the floor (Hussein) to vote for it and another (Hamed) didn't stay in the room for the vote.

Its worth noting that if they're councillors for your ward.
