In relation to the idea that voters think the real estate rougues 'influence' local government too much, I thought that was the role of local government!
To provide a subsidy to 'developers' by falling in wuith every single low grade project imaginable and featherbedding the production of personal wealth to a handful of individuals and corporations, ably aided and abetted by a biased tax system that propels landlordism as one of its major planks.
Am I wrong?

My friends in local government point out that convictions for corruption and development tend to be a state government problem, not a local government one.

People should make an effort to check out what the minor parties have to offer by reading their websites and asking questions.
Even if only a couple of small party candidates got into the parliament, they could stop idiots from working against their own country e.g. vote against more asset sales and more empowerment of global corporations to kneecap our farmers, small business people and ordinary workers.
How many more times do Australians want to have the yolk sucked out of their nest eggs?
Everyone should try to become more conversant with the economic model of Distributism preferred by the Democratic Labor Party (DLP), which presents a viable alternative to damaging systems such as Communism or Large Scale Capitalism.
Please vote for patriots of your own nation at state and federal elections.

It will be very disappointing if Carl Rackermann gets up for the Katter Party in Kingaroy. Like it or lump it the ex One Nation come Independent, Dorothy Pratt may have been nice lady but really useless for the Nanango Electorate. It would have been better to have had a marginal Labor member there as something may have been done to the roads into the South Burnett at least. Deb Frecklington would be a good member and if there is an LNP Goverment Kingaroy may get back on the map.
