As the governance year grinds towards a brief hiatus, we purport to diligently present the penultimate edition of VLGAConnect Governance Update for 2020.

Stephen Cooper shares some observations from his part physical/ part virtual induction road trip, with Councillors coming to grips with conflict of interest provisions, apprehended bias issues and standards of conduct that will underpin new Council Codes of Conduct.

Also, some key takeaways from this week's interviews with the Minister for Local Government and the IBAC Deputy Commissioner; and a mailbag contribution to our recent budget summary.
