A Victorian councillor has sensationally resigned mid-meeting, after a vote to adopt a budget with a rate increase.
Mike Noske delivered a letter of resignation to CEO Helen Havercroft about an hour into this week’s Glenelg Shire Council meeting, to a smattering of applause from the public gallery.
The Council is yet to make any formal statement about the resignation, and Cr Noske is still listed as a councillor on the Council website.
