Please Explain

Can someone please tell me why it is that, every year without fail, we are told to expect an increase in our rates, waste management fees, electricity charges, and any other revenue that can be garnered from the people of Norfolk Island to enable the current council to at least 'break even', or make a profit?

The reason I ask this is because ,to date, each year the deficit gets higher regardless of how much they increase their fees. Could it be the hiring of consultants, FIFO staff and wages of higher management are the real impetus behind these increases...or is it just appalling money management?!
