2) “If I turn up with my shoelaces undone, they’d breach me for a Code of Conduct.”
Cr Beardon just days before his resignation in March.

3) “I am delighted that it has finally happened and I’m also hopeful that it will mark a change in the safety conditions in that stretch of road and that we will not see a single tragedy anymore as a result of this action.”
Then Mayor Sam Aziz was relieved after VicRoads decided to reduce the speed limit on the South Gippsland highway.
