I had the privilege to attend the Mayoral Charity Christmas Dinner at The Grand Roxy on Thursday, December 11.
Miracle Babies Foundation was the worthwhile charity being supported at this year's function.
Morris Iemma, footballer Sam Perrett, general manager Meredith Wallace and mayor Shane O'Brien all gave speeches explaining the wonderful work done by the foundation.
Rockdale councillors in attendance were the deputy mayor Liz Barlow, Mark Hanna, James Macdonald, Tarek Ibrahim and Joe Awada.
Former councillors Anne Field, Lesa de Leau, Les Crompton and Phil Lang were also present.
There are six Liberal councillors but not one attended the charity function.
I would have thought at this time of year and in view of the worthwhile cause, they would have put aside their political differences.
Apparently they can't bring themselves to work together as a united group even for charity.
