Mayor fails second bid for LDMG, public gallery disrupts proceedings, second meeting doesn't bode well for future

Ipswich Today

Mayor fails in second bid for disaster management chair as hostilities break out in the council chamber. The second Ipswich council meeting of the new term gets off to a far from harmonious start with disruptions from the public gallery, and is the mayor considering a third tilt for federal seat of Blair at next year’s election? Teresa Harding joins the show and reveals her push to have the mayor of every council in Queensland automatically appointed as the local disaster management group chairperson.
