Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle has rejected suggestions that the office-holder’s official car and driver should be dumped. Councillor Ken Ong, Phil Cleary and pollster Gary Morgan are among the candidates for lord mayor who argue that an official car is not needed and the incumbent should travel by public transport or on foot. However, Doyle says the role of lord mayor requires attendance at meetings and functions across Melbourne. Meanwhile, Morgan argues that one four-year term as lord mayor is sufficient. Doyle is seeking his third term.
