Her shock withdrawal from the process trig- gered a three-all deadlock between Cr Polglase and the community faction’s choice, former deputy mayor Barry Longland, which was re- solved in a lucky dip from the box. Cr Longland then missed out on the deputy’s position when his only challenger, Cr Young- blutt, also won the draw from the same box to cement an alliance between the two National Party stalwarts who had sat together on a previ- ous council. It was fourth time lucky for Cr Polglase who had missed out in three previous draws for the mayoralty against his old foe Max Boyd dur- ing his 18-year council career which has been marked by controversy. Proud wife Karlene rushed forward to kiss him after the improbable win which happened to coincide with his 68th birthday. The outcome was greeted with muted cheers from a packed public gallery mixed with a vit- riolic and defamatory outburst from one out- raged spectator who was threatened with evic- tion before walking out in disgust.

If you care about the planet and your health, using an eco-friendly paint in the home, school or workplace makes sense. Nature Cover Paints has been trading in the local community for about seven years, and Stuart and Belle McPhee have recently bought the business. Stuart says, ‘After three months of trading we have re-branded the products and will now be selling under the ecolour name.’ Ecolour is an Australian manufacturer that produces premium quality, climate- friendly, water-based paints. With ZERO Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), ecolour paints are entirely non-toxic to people and the environment. Stuart says that when choosing paint, you need to consider the health of your family. Regular paints release toxic solvents and petrochemicals into the air as they dry. These are known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and are proven to contribute to many health conditions including cancer, sick building syndrome, breathing difficulties, dizziness, headaches, fatigue and blurred vision. VOCs can continue outgassing for many years after applica- tion severely reducing the quality of your indoor air. But zero VOCs are not the only part of the ecolour story. Besides the health benefits, ecolour is the first climate friendly paint on the market to use a waste product as a key ingredient. Backed by 20 years of research and develop- ment, this Australian invention turns recycled re-refined waste engine oil into water-based paint. (see our ad this page for more information). Stuart adds, ‘We are very excited to be a part of the Going Green Expo September 18-20 at the showgrounds in Brisbane. This creates an opportu- nity for us to expand into a larger market of climate friendly people. ‘Few eco paints can match ecolour’s zero VOC status, and none can match our climate friendliness. In addition our paints are competitively priced, mak- ing them an affordable alternative. So there is now no need to compromise your health, the environment or your wallet.’ To reduce your carbon footprint and paint a brighter future call ecolour on (02) 6685 8555 or visit www.ecolour.com.au Not all paints are created equal Our paint is water-based, 100% free of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and entirely non-toxic to people, pets and the environment. It can be tinted to any colour from any paint chart and is suitable for interior, exterior and timber finishes. Plus, it’s competitively priced. But most importantly, our paint is climate friendly. Our unique invention turns recycled and re-refined waste engine oil into water based paint. Australia currently burns more than 240 million litres of waste oil per year and produces high carbon emissions. Yet for ecolour, the oil acts as a preservative and provides durability, superior coverage and smooth application qualities to the paint. And it $99 reduces your carbon footprint.
