My three-part question is to Senator Johnston as the Minister representing the Minister for Local Government, Territories and Roads. Firstly, is the minister aware of the outrage in Queensland over the processes adopted by the Labor government to force amalgamations upon Queenslanders? Secondly, what is the Howard government doing to assist people in regional Queensland to have effective local government representation? Thirdly, is the minister aware of any alternative policies?
