  • February 2017 ISSUE 289
    A volunteer initiative of the Howard & District Progress Assn Inc. Voice of the People Since August 1990 DISTRIBUTION 1600 COPIES VOLUME 1 February 2017 ISSUE 289 President Trump’s inauguration speech resonated around the world. He declared he would “… give power back to the forgotten people” For many of us that is just how we feel – forgotten by politicians, misled by media and forgotten by the public officials we pay to serve our needs. In 2014, then Treasurer Joe Hockey declared that the age of entitlement was dead. In that case he was referring to welfare recipients. Unfortunately, his colleagues on both sides of the house failed to understand that if it was over for the rest of us, it was also over for politicians and public officials. Political movements in Britain and the United States indicate OFF that the forgotten people are demanding to be heard. They are also demanding that politicians and public officials stop taking advantage of their position and start WITH providing the service that we ratepayers and taxpayers are funding. THEIR Are we in the Burrum District forgotten? Recent events at Fraser Coast Council who funded a HEADS $1/2 million boardwalk and multi-million dollar sports complex at Hervey Bay while we languish without sewerage and adequate drainage seems to suggest we are indeed forgotten. Our divisional councillor and local member are fighting hard for us but it seems that self-interest by councillors and public officials is too strong an influence. No, I’m not advocating that we rise up in revolt and shout “Off with her head”.
