Mayor of Cockburn Logan Howlett has delivered a decidedly outrageous response to claims the City was wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on international junkets to music festivals.

Gary Adshead has been trying to understand how and why a proposed trip to Croatia for three councilors and the mayor himself was almost passed, despite the socioeconomic issues faced by residents.
