The fact that Ford conceded the process was shit but is still doubling down on the outcome is infuriating. It comes down to: "Look, folks, we're in power, so skedaddle".

It's spin. Continuing with the corrupt process, while saying "we need those lands to build 52 houses" makes it come across as

Necessary.
There were flaws, but they were negligible.
Ford and Co are continuing to work on behalf of the electorate

All of which is bullshit.

I really hope to see reporting on personal and financial links between Ford, the chief of staff, and the developers.
