This is a verbal threat which is taken seriously within the cycling community, and not something a supposed leader in the community should be saying in any instance, let alone in the public realm of the Council Chamber.

I call for an urgent full public apology to the cycling community and a sanction of Mr Duffy in the chamber.

This is not acceptable behaviour.

I commend Cr Mileto for making a comment on the night in the chamber, however I was disappointed that no further action or comments were made by any other member in the chamber.

Orange is developing as a major cycling destination for the state bringing millions in revenue to the community and to have a public figure make these comments is abhorrent, especially from a bus driver who is on the road in a large vehicle all day.
