Notes
- Incumbent Cummins' "business commitments forced him to stand down".[5]
- Nossiter resigned six months into taking up his seat on the council. His seat was up for re-election at the next election in 2000.
gollark: I wouldn't be massively surprised if MS/some people in the government still had a way to bee those.
gollark: Which would be a neat terrorism idea actually.
gollark: e.g. some people at Microsoft could probably push an update which erases all Windows computers at a set time and bee everything.
gollark: I suppose certain people could negatively affect people a lot rapidly if they started trying to maximize evil, but that's more because they have direct control over high-speed processes than richness.
gollark: Ugh, BEE my wireless network connection right now to a significant degree.
