Red tape not a burden for this party
Can’t Stop Progress
Do we really need a local government?
‘Nup’ is the short answer. Especially on the Sunshine Coast anyway, where Deputy Premier and Planning Minister, Jarrod Bleijie, is taking all the heavy lifting off the shoulders of weary council officers. Want a tourist park? No prob.
Want a festival site? Stand by.
The Comiskey Group for one must be relieved that someone finally gets their vision of turning Coochin Creek from mosquito-breeding swamp and strawberry-producing wasteland (and part of the inter-urban break) into something actually usable.
Before the LNP swept to power last year it was all about jumping through pesky hoops, ticking countless boxes and dealing with the prickly bureaucracy of the Sunshine Coast Council.
Not so anymore.
Two call-ins in a matter of weeks shows the type of big picture thinking that the state is bringing to Queensland.
Now that that’s sorted, the next question has to be who headlines the first Coochin Fields festival?
Please don’t let Mr Bleijie call that one in.
Elvis is dead, sorry.
Champagne Comedy?
I see the Twinnies have hit the global comedy circuit with Saturday Night Live last week taking the proverbial out of our two lovable environmental warriors.
It was a cringey attempt at capturing our accent (We don’t sound like that even in Surround Sound, do we?).
The SNL writers have done better – but at least we can say we knew the Twinnies before they got crazy-famous.
Powers be to ‘em.
Sky High Blasts
What were the massive explosions last week?
Apparently a science experiment gone right at Beerwah State High.
