I am 58 years old and have lived in the Burdekin since I was three. Together with my partner Jill, we have four adult children and two beautiful grandchildren. I have worked in the Disability Employment sector for over 20 years and am currently CEO of NQ Employment. I secured the Containers for Change contract through NQ Green Solutions to bring a recycling facility to this area. I previously served on local Council for eight years, being Deputy Mayor for four years.
Youth crime is out of control across the region. As I have been a victim of youth crime in the Burdekin I would urge local Council to actively work together with State and Federal levels of government as well as local law enforcement officers and community service providers to help stop the youth crime rate.
People want to feel safe in their own homes and be able to put food on the table for their family.
They want to review Council operations and identify unnecessary expenditure and put these funds to better use. Look at funding opportunities to run security patrols and perhaps subsidised security devices.
Review the current council’s Strategic Plan and budget. Identify any changes that need to be made. Listen to the people of the Burdekin and take their voice back to Council.
