Problems only get solved when you stop ignoring them.
1/3 councils financially unsustainable = 1/3 Qld communities are at risk of service and infrastructure cuts.
How low do we go?

Advocating for our region is a huge part of our councillors roles and this Council is continuing to address the challenges this region faces, not kicking it down the path for the next term of council. @MayorNBQLD@NikkiBoydMP
Thanks @NikkiBoydMP for coming to @NorthBurnettRC to see firsthand the desperate need to get Local Government assets and services working for our community.

Basic necessities for all Queenslanders.

Thank you @AlboMP for pledging to ensure local government once again has a voice in national decision making. One seat at the National Cabinet table to represent 537 councils and their communities is not too much to ask. Over to you @ScottMorrisonMP
For those wanting to see a concession speech, this one by John McCain — congratulating Obama in 2008 — is worth watching again. See how he faces down the boos from his own supporters. Very few greater moments of humility.

(Please note: When I say “we” it refers to the community as a whole, the irrigators as a group, the irrigators individually, economic development groups, universities, past and present politicians and past and present Councils).
Thank you everyone!
Hold your horses. If exploitation exists then fix that regardless of who is being exploited. Lawlessness and cowboys 🤯, AWU you need to get out more. As for providing jobs for regional and rural Aust, let’s talk about the word “seasonal” and see how many ppl are interested.
