Fraud at Stonnington?

There have been reports that fraudulent activities have been detected within our local Stonnington Council.   Hopefully, the issue is confined to a small area, namely the hiring out of venues, including parks.  In passing, just why you need to pay for a permit to do something in a park isn't quite clear to me, but I guess it's all part of life in this day and age.

On the positive side, I suppose that it's good that this has been detected.   On the negative side, it seems to have taken a while to catch up with it (the report suggests that it has been going on since 2007 or thereabouts), and you hope that this isn't indicative of a more broad-ranging cultural issue at the Council.
