sounds like a great junket, froggy. what's new to learn about roads you can't get out of a book or the web and what's wrong with a video conference 

I understand that by attending last year's conference help my new local government secure 60 million in road funding.

This money was to seal a road that the State Government promised to seal in 1957 when it closed the rail access to our town.

Unfortunately there a State election soon and last time there was funding for this project the State spent the money in Perth on the expansion of the train passenger network. 

I did learn how the Victorian State Government needs to hand over 200 million to the Glengle Shire so they can fix their roads. Plus NSW councils need more road funding from their State government. Apparently the Federal Transport Department wants a new user pays road funding system as the current fuel taxes are unfair and not providing them with enough income.

You city slickers believe everything the Fed's tell you about the NBN and how it provides fast Internet to everyone. Well video conferencing requires decent Internet speeds, plus it's a poor way to deliver a conference.

The NBN started construction in my area in May 2013 and it has not been completed as yet. I assume they want to complete their entire east coast network before they complete my area. IMO it should be called the NBN.CON.

Don't kid yourself DF I live in metro Melbourne and we are not even on the planning list that shows the areas to be done in the next three years. I have tried to work how the choose the areas to do and the the result is they pick them with a blind fold and a pin!

I bloody don't ... I may not be a city slicker anyway but I have the nbn's satellite 'service' (despite having 100% signal strength for fixed wireless, I'm not permitted access to it). Slow when it's working, which happens episodically.

Far too systematic, Mr Old.

Forgot to ask, Froggie: did you learn about the Queensland system which used to operate brilliantly by having a minister of the crown living in a local government area (with the small proviso that any developed road usually ended at the minister's gate?
