Quote: Here’s to strong women; may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.
As International Women’s Day gets closer, I look back with a small smile of satisfaction when I see how far we have come. But then, with a little trepidation, I look ahead and see how far we still have to go.

A Wide Bay business leader is calling for one of the regionâs main roads to be closed until it is fixed, labelling it âunsafeâ and a âtotal disgraceâ.
The road is Brooweena Woolooga Rd and has been slammed by locals in the past for its dangerous condition.

A post on a Facebook page apparently run by Gympie GP and former councillor Daryl Dodt before the meeting yesterday pre-emptively took aim at those who would vote to overturn the laws introduced in February this year.
