For Noosa, 2012 is the ‘dawning of a new beginning’ as it will enable us---subject to the election of an LNP government---to create a unique 21st Century local government.  One that literally fulfils Abraham Lincoln’s prophecy of “A Government of The People, By The People, For The People.”
As we observe the ongoing violent revolutionary activity in the Middle-East, driven by ordinary citizens demanding representative government,  despatching corrupt totalitarian governments and their murderous dictators to the rubbish bin of history, we in Noosa have quietly engineered our own bloodless revolution.  Before long we will be issuing our ‘Declaration of Independence’ from the virtual dictatorship of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council who tell us what we can and can’t do and is busily planning our future.  Faceless men and women unelected by Noosa residents.

With the festive season nearly upon us, this year we have further reasons to rejoice in the knowledge a state election will be held in few months time.  Queenslanders will then have the opportunity to wave goodbye to an arrogant, autocratic government that forced Noosa and other councils to merge in defiance of community wishes.

The latest Galaxy Poll indicates voter support for the government continues to linger around the 28% mark suggesting Labor will struggle to hold as little as 12 seats in a new Parliament. Not surprisingly Bligh’s top bureaucrats have clearly ‘sniffed the wind’ and are heading for the nearest exit with 6 of her department heads gone and many more to follow.
