AUSTRALIA: Brisbane’s council has lost a campaign for funding of a $2.5 million golf course on the city’s southern edge. A $2.5 million application has been rejected. The project’s proponents say $1.7 million of the money would be us강남출장안마ed for community outreach and golf cou전주출장샵rse programming. A spokesman for the Brisbane City Council said the Council would seek support from state and federal governments for $1.7 million to help finish the project.

There are going to be concerns about that. The government has an obligation to make sure we don’t let ourselves be bought off by the state.”
She added council was “very, very fortunate that the state government agreed to go with those funds”, but the “state government needs to make sure that it doesn’t find itself in the position of having to foot that money through its own taxpayers”.
