Apart from probing her col- leagues’ share of the council’s $3,750 annual booze bill, the query which most irked coun- cillors during Katie Milne’s 50-questions extravaganza was the cost of the New Year’s Eve fireworks and the level of carbon emissions generated. Council boss Mike Rayner put the cost at $6,000 and estimat- ed that 100kg of carbon diox- ide is produced in an average fireworks display. ‘The same amount of CO2 would also be released by five cigarette smok- ers averaging 20 cigarettes a day over a six-month month period,’ he pointed out to Cr Milne, who has been known to puff on the odd fag.
