David Penman wasn’t happy with his local Victorian council. So, he privately prosecuted five councillors

David Penman, a small business owner in Daylesford, took an extraordinary step when he privately prosecuted five of his local councillors. This legal action, leveraging little-known laws, has forced the councillors to stand down, leaving only two able to continue serving. This unprecedented move highlights the frustrations some residents have with local governance and raises questions about the balance of power between citizens and their elected officials. It's a telling example of how determined individuals can challenge and disrupt established political processes.
