Speaker
Deborah introduced Mal whom she has known for ten years and in ten places at once

Mal first spoke of the sad death of James from a brain tumour only last night.
He had been Charlie Teo’s patient $80K/op and had further operations in Germany.
$80K raised in a day, $125K by end.  The first operations were successful, but he died because of a separate tumour.

Meeting tomorrow about CCTV in Beerwah, Landsborough & Glass House Mountains.

CC u there

Bruce Highway $1 and a half billion commitment but goes nowhere (hope that’s the funding, not the highway).  $85m for Roys Road, Caloundra interchange to be $300m, Mooloolaba Exchange $1B, $2000m for six lanes to Caboolture.  Confused yet?

Diversifying economy - Youi moving near University, 3000 people at $70k average wage.
Silicon Valley, Daniel Petrew?

Disruption of the internet (tell me about it) “Muru’d" Telstra in regional Australia??
Google a partner - USC - Incubator - Israel’s example - teaching coding at primary school.

Uber mobile application up to 95% of trips o/s somewhere probably America
“can change the way we do things”

Employment - SSC Daily/Salvation Army/Woolworths e.g.. 16yo girl can change trajectory

Seafood Industry - labelling laws discussion paper

Hospital - no funding shortfall

 
Sorry if I stuffed that all up Mal - Bernie & I promise not to tell. 
 
Bernie thanked Mal
