City of Launceston

I must admit, I don't know a lot about these other electorates, but just very quickly.

Launceston has also been a very messy term for Launceston Council.

Danny Gibson was actually elected mayor in 2022.

Last election, but resigned in May 23.

And so it was obviously disruptive and we had to stop the ordination.

And then we figured out that it was quite serious, and a few medical people, including I think it was two doctors, maybe two nurses, something like that, they went over and checked this 80-year-old man who ironically was leading the healing ministries in the city of Launceston, Tasmania, and he'd collapsed onto the floor, and four medical people checked him for signs of life.

There was no breathing, and there was no heartbeat.

And he was white, like grey.

We've been really fortunate.

We've lived in the Launceston CBD for over eight years, and it just is gonna create another level of vibrancy in the cafes and in the restaurants, and it's great to see Launceston City Council really focusing on this right now, because we know that if we can create a vibrant community, if we can be supporting our local arts and our communities there, that's certainly exciting rather than pushing people out to the, the outer suburbs.

So we're certainly looking forward to seeing this come to fruition.

Yeah, and the Launceston area faces major new flood-related development restrictions.

This is part of my journey.

I also mentor the dieticians at the Nutrition for Life Center in Launceston that encourage an LCHF lifestyle, low in sugar and carbohydrate and higher in healthy fats.

The most dangerous phrase in the English language is, "We've always done it this way." What if the model of cancer that we believe in is actually wrong? We've been taught that cancer is a problem of chromosomal damage, and what if that chromosomal damage is just a marker of disease and not actually the cause? Today, I'd like you to consider that the primary problem is one of glucose metabolism within mitochondria, and that the chromosomal changes that we see and have been blaming as the cause may in fact just be the effect of a primary metabolic dysfunction.

If so, this opens up a whole new way of managing cancer.

Staff would work their full weekly hours across Monday to Thursday and council offices, depots and libraries would generally be closed on Fridays.

And this is particularly notable after Launceston City Council in Tasmania scrapped its plan for a four-day week earlier this year after a wave of public backlash and what the CEO called unacceptable hostility directed at staff.

What Murrumbidgee is proposing is different, though.

Let's find out how.
