Thank you to The Courier-Mail and Sky News for giving us city dwellers a snapshot of bush life with your Bush Summit.
It highlighted all the things we love about our country and gave our leaders in the bush the opportunity to highlight areas our federal and state governments need to review to ensure the future growth of our bush regions.
I had the opportunity on Friday to hear Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Opposition Leader David Crisafulli tell us their vision for the future.
I listened intently to them as well as to Gina Rinehart (pictured) who gave her views on what governments need to do to ensure we continue to enjoy the lifestyle we have grown accustomed to.
My personal view is our governments need to listen to the Rinehart has to say.
We need successful business leaders and philanthropists with common sense and a love of our country more than ever to give advice to our leaders.
Bill Glasson, Buderim
