Candidates Front Community Forums in Blackall & Tambo

Corporate structures, new industries, tourism and roads – in short, all the issues that confront local government every day – were canvassed by the five candidates seeking the mayor’s role for the Blackall-Tambo Regional Council at a public forum this week.

Organised by the local community newspaper, two candidates from Tambo – electrician Max Barlow and grazier Andrew Martin – and three from Blackall – solicitor Peter Skewes, businessman and current councillor Tom Johnstone, and incumbent mayor and fellow businessman Barry Muir – answered questions for two solid hours.
