Our first guest this week is Alex Makin, Mayor of the City of Port Phillip here in Melbourne. Councils across Victoria are warning that more and more responsibilities are being pushed onto local government without the funding to match — a practice known as cost-shifting. Mayor Makin joins us to explain what that means for councils and for local ratepayers.
Alex Makin is the Mayor of the City of Port Phillip in Melbourne’s inner south. He has served multiple terms as a councilor and is known for advocating strongly on issues affecting local government, community infrastructure and the financial sustainability of councils.
