Councillor result: Early leaders

The count has started for the Fraser Coast Regional Council's ten new councillors. 
So far, according to the Local Government Association of Queensland's tally room, with 13.61 per cent of the vote counted by 2.14 pm today,  former Maryborough mayor Barb Hovard and Woocoo Shire councillor Debbie Hawes have taken the early lead.

The result is too early to call but at this point in the count, the ten leaders are: Belinda McNeven, Debbie Hawes, Gerard O'Connell, Linda Harris, Les MucKan, Julie Arthur, Barb Hovard, David Dalgleish, Anne Nioa and Sue Brooks. All former councillors.

Tomorrow's count should give a clearer indication with several candidates so close to the leaders it is anyone's call.

Good to see Sue Brooks doing so well, in spite of the unfair and totally unnecessary character assasination by the editor of the Chronicle last week.

The "chronically Ill" did its best efforts to return the "status quo' and avoid an investigation into Wide Bay Waters affairs as many new "fresh" candidates were eager to pursue.
The public have voted and that have received the Council they deserve - Baggage and All.

Go Sue - stay the lone voice of reason in a corrupt system.
