The ABC brings word that the NSW Cabinet is coming to Queanbeyan to pretend to listen to the concerns of the people.

Premier Nathan Rees is optimisically hoping to still be running the show next month and folk from all across the region are invited to come sit in a big room and be ignored by the party hacks currently gorging on the body politic.

LOL,
I hope this time they do hold a meeting somewhere, after hours, where working people from the community can be ignored, instead of walking in and out of the pubs between 11am and 3pm and asking the regular bar flies for opinions.

Last few years when any opinions/advice is needed, the newspapers/TV and most pollies concerned walk in and out of the pubs (during business hours) asking questions and doing small interviews.
How the hell would any of those non-working bar flies even know what is going on?
As long as they get their dole payment and the pub is open on time their life is carefree.

It’s the working class that have a right to be ignored for once.

Every weekday is sunnernats in Queanbeyan as well 😉

Every weekend is Summernats in Queanbeyan.

Mebbe they can be lobbied to take Summernats somewhere? Somewhere the locals might like it more. Like, say, Queanbeyan?

I bet a delegation from the east comes in to rant about the council amalgamations which turned our council from a solvent one into a broke one, charging new high rates for NOTHING.

I hope they don’t book out the Rendezvous though. Actually it’s not licensed so maybe no.

Wonder how receptive they’d be to a tongue lashing over the utter stupidity of the Queanbeyan Council and themselves in approving a subdivision under an airport final approach?
