Independent Commissioners?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR - 27 August 2007

Dear Editor

The Premier keeps referring to the "independent commissioners" as if he had no active part in the radical restructuring of local government boundaries.

There is an age-old adage, Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

Peter Beattie and Labor’s Federal Leader Kevin Rudd see regional councils as their tool to concentrate power in fewer hands and to deny the citizens of Queensland the local representation that is essential to democracy.
