    Queensland is lagging behind the rest of Australia when it comes to having access to fluoridated water, and there is none available in the Mackay-Whitsundays.

    Most readers would agree a $117,000 salary should come with the expectation you’re dedicating yourself full time to your constituents. But George Christensen seems to think he doesn’t need to be in the country to be a local councillor. He’s now called into two consecutive council meetings remotely.
