COST of living has topped the list of issues worrying hinterland locals following local federal MP Andrew Wallace’s annual Tour de Fisher.
Mr Wallace said his annual cycle trip this month – where he visited hinterland towns including Beerwah, Landsborough, Maleny, Witta and Peachester – saw many issues raised.
Mr Wallace said household price pressures were a common theme. “The talks I had with people were very varied but I’d say the most common topic of conversation would have been in relation to cost of living,” Mr Wallace said.
“Fuel prices, electricity prices, rent, mortgage, everything is going up, and people are really hurting at the moment.”
