Thank You, Todd and Dan! April 24, 2012 - A big thank you also to Todd Fiedler and Dan Bauer, from Chaseling Plumbers, for supporting my nomination to re-stand for Division 4. They're both qualified plumbers who are out and about in the community working hard and understand what this region needs. Todd is also president of the Kingaroy Kindergarten so he knows first-hand the challenges that young families - and community groups - face. Thank you, guys! [Photo courtesy Danielle Lowe]

It's Critical To Get The Balance Right! April 24, 2012 - The South Burnett Times interviewed me recently and reported that I was ready to run again for council. Well, I'm more than just ready ... I'm keen and eager to continue representing the people in Division 4. During the past 13 years I believe have built a comprehensive understanding of the people and the community while serving on Kingaroy Shire Council and now the amalgamated South Burnett Council. I've done this by meeting constituents on a regular basis - including my regular sessions at Kingaroy Shoppingworld - and by being busy in a number of community groups and organisations. I told the South Burnett Times that it was critical to get the right balance of growth and development for the future of the region ... and it is! The previous four-year term has seen council move from a major debt position to a surplus by applying tough financial management decisions. But the Number 1 focus fof the immediate future must be roads. Without reliable and safe roads, this community and region cannot function effectively!

Thank You, Nina! April 15, 2012 - I am delighted to receive the following endorsement from my friend Nina Temperton. Nina and I have served together on many community committees and I feel honoured to be able to count her as a friend as well as a colleague: I have known Keith Campbell for many years and have worked with him on many projects. I respect his managerial skills and genuine dedication to the community. Keith was a respected business manager and he has transferred these skills into the Council arena. Although kept very busy with Council duties, Keith has not stepped away from his involvement with community groups such as Meals On Wheels, SB Care, South Burnett CTC and St John's Lutheran Church. I have found that he is determined to seek out opinions from all sides on contentious issues. He then carefully weighs up competing views and forms an opinion on what is best for the community as a whole. If Keith Campbell gets re-elected for Division 4 at the Local Government election, I know he will serve the Kingaroy - and South Burnett - community with honour, respect and conscientiousness.
