Complain and keep quiet, ok

Sonya Green wont formally complain to Fremantle council about hummilitating comments made by a councillor because she doesnt want to be gagged.

Under council policy both parties are required to keep all aspects of complaints confidential "until such time as the complaint is deemed to be no longer confidential by the person recieving the complaint".

Ms Green remains angry and fears her case will simply disappear into the beauracatic ether.

"It could drag on," she said bitterly.

Cr Robert Fittock made sexually charged remarks in an email to the mayor, councillors and CEO Graeme Mackenzie in response to Ms Green's blog criticising the Fremantle Markets("Fittock under fire for sleezy email," Herald Sept 19, 2009)

At this weeks council meeting he offered a "sincere and unconditional apology".

"My misguided and regrettable attempt at humour was partly an expression of my frustration in response to such blogging," he said.

Cr Fittock said he tried to contact Ms Green to make a personal apology "but she declined to speak with me".
