Latest good read though is Peter Andrews - 'Back from the Brink' about our uniqe Australian landscape. How we have damaged it and how we can fix it!
'High and Dry' by Guy Pearse is another recent read and a depressing analysis of how interwoven big business interests are with our Prime Minister. A worrying look at what actually influences and motivates government policy!
Currently reading "What need to talk about Kevin" | | Heroes | Anyone that gets up and has another go when life invariably knocks them flat!
People that provide solutions to problems and put in a bit of effort to effect positive change

About me:
A Councillor with Hervey Bay City Council since 2005 and now with the Fraser Coast Regional Council.
MY Vision
Hervey Bay is where I have chosen to settle. I was raised in Victoria, have lived in Bundaberg and Darwin but I moved to Hervey Bay nine years ago and have no intentions of ever leaving. I’ve travelled most of Australia, experienced living in lots of different places, but I can’t find anywhere nicer to live than Hervey Bay. I’m sure that most of us have chosen to reside in Hervey Bay because we enjoy living near the coast, we like the climate and the natural environment. We also enjoy using community facilities and we want education opportunities and enough jobs to keep our kids close by as they get older. We want a safe environment where we can travel around our city easily.
Our community depends on more than just its natural environment for its happiness and wellbeing. A balanced relationship between our buildings our natural environment and the people that live here will enhance our community. We can’t put up a stop sign to keep people from doing as we did and settling here. Hervey Bay will inevitably continue to grow and change but our growth must be carefully managed. Residents want a choice of housing located in a variety of areas. Some of us enjoy living on a larger block where we can grow trees, but many residents enjoy living in a smaller dwelling with no garden or a shared garden maintained by someone else. Still others choose something in between. With sensible controlled development this mix of living styles is achievable. We must balance the protection of our natural environment with the cultural, economic, physical and social well being of us, the people. I absolutely love Hervey Bay and I want to help preserve what should be preserved and help manage our inevitable growth very carefully. I certainly don't want Hervey Bay to gain a reputation as a 'concrete coast'.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with suggestions, concerns and anything in between. Thanks for listening, Sue

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who cares about our environment and 'has a go'to promote change.
Whingers who won't compromise and who won't work towards a solution aren't my cup of tea.
I like people who try to change their little patch of the planet into a friendly happy considerate space!
Change the things you can, accept the things that you can't change, and have the wisdom to know the difference.
Never, ever give up!
Brisbane LION supporters!
