Councillor Anne Moran wants to be Lord Mayor of Adelaide (click here)

Perhaps Councillor Anne Moran who wants to run for the office of Adelaide Lord Mayor "because she is a woman" might consider having some substantial policies as well?
Women certainly make up 50% of the population, but that alone does not give them entrée to high office.
I read with interest your Q&A bid for Lord Mayor at the next ACC elections (City North Messenger).

You are to be congratulated that next May you will be the longest serving female councillor in the history of the ACC.
But surely the fact that you are a woman and that "it's time for a woman" are not sufficient credentials alone to be Lord Mayor of Adelaide?
I have no problems should you seek, and be successful in achieving your goals, but sound policies should be the reason to be elected, not gender.
You mentioned "service to our residents" as your main reason for running. No mention at all, or apparent acknowledgement that the ACC is actually the hub for the entire metropolitan area, and decisions made by council affect the Greater Adelaide region, not just the area between the Terraces and North Adelaide.
Yet those outside North Adelaide have no vote at all even though it is "their city".
The Adelaide City Council is not yours to own. Yet for decades, it seems that is the feeling amongst most councillors.

The Adelaide City Council would surely have to be one of the most undemocratic councils in Australia. A few hundred people, mostly living in North Adelaide, control a capital city with little apparent acknowledgement that the privileged few are in fact, acting on behalf or over 1 million people.
