VLGA Connect, Episode 255: On the Governance Update this week, Chris Eddy and Stephen Cooper are joined by Andrew Gunter from Hunt & Hunt Lawyers to discuss the Supreme Court judgment in the political signage case of Badger vs Bayside City Council. The outcome is relevant for all councils in Victoria.
