Times Are Tough in Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast
Times are tough here in Hervey Bay and on the Fraser Coast; families and small businesses are struggling to survive as costs go up but income either remains the same or falls and now council rates are going up.
You would think that in times like these you might see some real attempts by the Fraser Coast Regional Council to rein in costs but it seems that such thinking is just plain delusional.
Here’s the story of an $80,000 vehicle for the council’s chief executive complete with very expensive added extras that, if you believe council are standard equipment but the motor industry says are not.
You might also wonder how someone who was only the interim CEO could have the confidence to order such a vehicle three months before he was confirmed in the job.
