Warren Truss (Wide Bay, National Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport and Local Government) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his stated strong opposition before the election to Labor’s forced council amalgamations in Queensland and to the overwhelming ‘No’ votes in the federally funded amalgamation plebiscites—up to 99 per cent. What action has the Prime Minister taken since the election to have the Queensland government abandon these unwanted forced amalgamations and follow this clear expression of democratic will? Does the Prime Minister really understand the impact of these amalgamations on the people of Queensland?
