      It would be a much better investment than say, expanding the Bruce Highway

      I hear you, and we’re going to act on that. Here’s a second Bruce Highway. You’re welcome!

          Just in case you weren’t aware, I was referring to a specific plan that is currently in the early stages. Absolutely fucking bonkers. How about spending all that money on duplicating the rail line North of Beerburrum, and increasing the frequency with which it operates? (Or better yet, upgrading it to high speed rail!)

          They run as independents down there, don’t they? How easy is it to find which party they’re affiliated with, out of interest?

              didn’t realise you were referring to an actual project

              Haha yup. Fun times.

              Amusingly, that’s the BCC colours, so we’re he in Brisbane that might not necessarily have indicated a party allegiance. But yeah, I do find it weird that Councillors outside of Brisbane hide their party allegiance. I’m not sure why but it seems so ubiquitous. Is it a rule or something?
