“议员们实际上并没有很多人知道，”达利说。 “It makes it very difficult for us to address the concerns of the community. There’s been a lot of speculation … it’s important we address that at the council meeting.”
According to Darley’s notice of motion, “a number of questions and requests for information submitted by councillors remain unresolved, including but not limited to access to [the] council’s business continuity plan and crisis management/communications plan”.
Darley is seeking the council’s support for自由勋爵市长马丁·泽特（Martin Zaiter）和劳工副市长卡梅隆·麦克林（Cameron MacLean）就此事获得独立的法律建议，并安排议员的简报。 “And I don’t think that’s acceptable. I’ve heard different things. I’ve heard we can know, I’ve been told we can’t, so that’s why I want to hear it from lawyers who are experts in this space.
