Council’s mid-year review details $120mil in staff cuts over the next four years. No wonder they wanted reduced redundancy requirements in recent EBA negotiations. #Shame #LNPcuts

Today's antics by the LNP regime shows Question Time has become a farce. (1/3)

Despite the popularity, #Brisbane City Council has cut 23 sessions from the First Five Forever Schedule from next month.

The Lord Mayor and Cr Murphy are the only two people in Brisbane who think the Metro bus deployment on route 169 was a ‘trial’. Why wont the LNP regime come clean on what the real issue is?

The LNP in Council just refused to listen to the pensioners of Brisbane. While bagging out Australia Post, they've just voted to keep their exorbitant junk mail contract with them intact!

At Tuesday Council meeting I moved a motion asking the Lord Mayor to commit to upgrading by June 30 the most dangerous intersection in Brisbane, Archerfield & pine Rd Richlands, they amended the motion only for design, Another broken promise by this L/M.

The Lord Mayor and his LNP regime are locking ratepayers into a green waste contract which is a) not industry best practice b) 1000% more expensive than before.

Disappointed to hear that the Lord Mayor and Cr Allan haven’t considered community housing before selling off surplus properties to developers. #SHAME

David Crisafulli is refusing to answer some very serious questions about his dodgy business. He simply can’t be trusted. #qldpol

Months ago in Council we raised concerns over the Story Bridge restoration project coming to a halt and today all we get is a lecture about how much bridges around the rest of the world cost. When will this LNP Council take responsibility and step up for #Brisbane?

Peter Dutton is crazy brave to the point of being reckless. He’s also outsmarting Anthony Albanese smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Lord Mayor just told Council that debates about reproductive leave, housing, and reconciliation are "pointless" - big talk for someone who is not in the Chamber vote on them!

The Lord Mayor just blamed the PM’s attendance for their “expensive party” for the upcoming Kangaroo Point Bridge opening. You can’t make this stuff up!!

Council has 1 standing committee that has exclusive LNP membership. Over the last 5 meetings, that committee has met for 32 minutes a week. This committee had $4300 spent on catering this FY to date! Other committees have instant coffee and packs of biscuits. Typical LNP rort!

Week after week, month after month we are lectured by the LNP Council about the need for ‘sensible savings’ as they cut expenditure. We find out today that didn’t extend to LNP Councillor Kim Marx who had a Qantas Club membership purchased for her using Council money 🤯

Acting Transport Chair @danitaparrys says she’s not aware the LNP Council ordered 60 metro buses when they only need 36. Financial chaos and not across their brief. #sensiblesavings

After challenging this language, the Deputy Mayor was adamant she 1) didn’t say it 2) apologised if that’s what I thought she said. How hard it is to say - well sorry I shouldn’t have used that language to describe another Councillor. The LNP are out of control in Council
Respectful debate from Brisbane’s LNP Deputy Mayor…

The LNP say asking for a strategy, which has bipartisan support, to be reviewed and updated with new actions after 2 years is politicising violence against women? What am I missing here?
Replying to @CrJaredCassidy
You should be ashamed of yourself for politicising violence against women, children and men. People have a right to live free from violence, abuse and intimidation and we will continue to review and improve Council's domestic violence strategy until this scourge is stamped out.
