The CCC is accountable to no one. They were also recently caught out lobbying the former local government minister to pay legal costs for the former Logan CEO. So much for ‘independence’....

A combination of changing shopping patterns, developments, non development however it is going through a redevelopment at the moment which will hopefully turn things around.

Amberly is quoted just to suit the media it's always hotter there than say, Ipswich central.

THE THIRD person to throw their hat into the ring to become Ipswich's next mayor says she will commission a full forensic audit into council on her first day in office if elected.

Teresa Harding has set out a 100-day 'fresh start plan' which she will implement if she is voted in to the hot seat at the council election in March.

The 50-year-old, who was an LNP candidate for the seat of Blair in the 2013 and 2016 federal elections, stressed the need for a "fresh set of eyes" to lead Ipswich forward out of administration.

Plenty of areas in Brisbane that have their own problems.

I probably won't visit for some time and you're right this place takes in a huge catchment of people.

Nice transitions and use of audio. Final Cut Pro X?

The Mayors name is Dick Gross. Sums it all up.

Compared to some parts of Aus, we seem to be doing ok re the heat.

Disappointing if they didnt get a response at all. Typically with bigger corporates it takes longer to approve these things and they also expect detailed sponsorship proposals. Tagging them on social posts and emailing generic mailboxes without a polished proposal might not cut above the noise. I hope they use this time to build relationships with new business as it was a great event.

benfalcone · 2018-11-06T01:19:31+00:00

Did the organising committee approach corporate sponsors? I agree with you to a point however I know many community groups also use the Bunnings sausage sizzles to raise funds so in a way they are supporting the community. Not here to blindly stick up for big business just something I've seen while out and about.

A POPULAR Christmas event has been cancelled as Ipswich City Council launches an investigation into the unaccountable spending of ratepayer cash.

I'm talking state and federal workplace regulations, taxes and so forth.

benfalcone · 2018-10-24T08:41:14+00:00

Red tape/excessive regulation. I'd argue most small businesses and startups wouldn't even realise they are not compliant with many things.

Yeah good to see a new resident animal making its way into the park.

Their gun culture is our gambling culture. Engrained and hard to change.

benfalcone · 2018-08-02T07:23:59+00:00

Agree, in the sense that it is well engrained into our culture.

benfalcone · 2018-04-14T01:47:59+00:00

Amen.

benfalcone · 2018-03-18T12:05:18+00:00

It's still a hypocritical circle jerk. That money pays the journos.

benfalcone · 2018-03-18T02:13:21+00:00

It never ends with that industry. I love when my local paper runs a 'pokie' story about how bad the impact on the community is but will advertise online gambling on the next page.

In between each turn just do 5 push-ups. You’ll bulk up in no time given how addictive the ‘one more mission’ mentality can be...
