Fiona Cunningham

Deputy Mayor of Brisbane | Coorparoo Ward Councillor | Working with Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner to keep Brisbane moving

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

I’ve always stood up for what I believed in and am so proud to be able to do that alongside @bne_lordmayor and my incredible @team_schrinner colleagues.

Being Deputy Mayor is a huge honour and big responsibility, and I’m as dedicated as ever to ensure we keep Brisbane moving.

There's a real risk people will stop turning up to polling booths and won't want to represent their community if this abuse and violence continues.

And that would be an appalling outcome for democracy.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

Have you had a negative experience at a polling booth?

Good democracy should be robust and competitive but never violent or abusive.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

Sadly polling stations are becoming increasingly unsafe for voters, candidates and volunteers.

Countless people have shared these concerns with me, yet they were ignored altogether in the 2024 Local Government Election Review.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@CrJaredCassidy You should be ashamed of yourself for politicising violence against women, children and men. People have a right to live free from violence, abuse and intimidation and we will continue to review and improve Council's domestic violence strategy until this scourge is stamped out.

The biggest hole Tracey Price and Labor have to fill today is the $1.5 billion blackhole in their costings.💰

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

Tracey Price and Labor can pull all the stunts they want, but what they are really trying to do today is make $1.5 billion in big-spending promises magically disappear. 🎩🪄

@CrLucyCollier @QldGreens It’s not too late to ditch your preference deal with the extreme greens.

We’re asking Brisbane residents to Just Vote 1. You should too.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@CrJaredCassidy Hi Jared,

What’s serious is your dodgy vote-preferencing and power-sharing deal with the radical and risky Greens.

I’m going to continue informing people about the risks of a Green/Labor Coalition of Chaos despite your mansplaining about my statements.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@CrJaredCassidy What’s really wrong is that your Green/Labor Coalition of Chaos has opposed our sensible savings plan.

Clearly you don’t care about Brisbane residents and would rather slug households with higher rates and more taxes in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@MarkBaileyMP @bne_lordmayor If only the State and Federal governments invested the 97% of the taxation revenue they both collect from Brisbane residents back into Brisbane…

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@MarkBaileyMP @bne_lordmayor After being caught out covering up secret funding cuts and blowouts bigger than the Brisbane City Council budget you’re still bagging our responsible financial management.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@MarkBaileyMP @bne_lordmayor Why didn’t you come clean about blowouts bigger than the entire Brisbane City Council budget?

Eight years as Minister and you continue to support sneaky tax hikes over responsible financial management.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

With costs escalating, you can either spend less or charge more. We’ve put our hand up for sensible savings.

The Green/Labor Coalition of Chaos has opposed savings, which means they’ll force bigger rate rises onto Brisbane households. Talk about wrong priorities.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@MarkBaileyMP @bne_lordmayor Your government has been caught out again with another sneaky tax hike during the cost-of-living crisis.

Meanwhile, we’re saving money to put downward pressure on future rates.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@MarkBaileyMP @bne_lordmayor It’s called responsible financial management, Mark. Look it up.

We’re being up front about our savings drive while you keep getting caught out with cover ups.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@CrJaredCassidy A Green/Labor Coalition of Chaos would cost Brisbane big time, by spending significantly more, not less, and driving up the cost of rates right in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

@MarkBaileyMP That’s right Mark, 10%. Meanwhile your blowouts are bigger than the entire Council budget.

[Fiona Cunningham @crcunningham]

The Green/Labor Coalition of Chaos…

[Team Schrinner @team_schrinner]

.@crcunningham: Ratepayers should not be treated by the State Government like a tap.

If the State isn’t providing new valuations, they should scrap the $3 million annual fee. #qt #bnepol
