The effect of this amendment is, according to the Minister, to ensure that the making and enforcement of waste charges by the local authority manager cannot be frustrated by actions taken by the elected members under other provisions of the local government and waste management codes. It is designed to ensure that elected members cannot do anything the manager does not wish them to do with regard to waste management and collection. The manner in which the amendment is devised goes so far as to undermine local government completely and to deliver an unprecedented blow to the role and powers of local authority members. In that regard, it cannot be supported.
