Round 9 of the Hutchinson Builders Toowoomba Rugby League competition was played last weekend.

On Saturday, the Goondiwindi Boars and the Southern Suburbs Tigers had a 20-all draw, Wattles Warriors defeated the Oakey Bears 46 to 10 and the Gatton Hawks defeated Warwick Cowboys 44 to 22.

On Sunday, Toowoomba Valleys Roosters defeated Dalby Diehards 28 to 26, Highfields Eagles defeated Brothers Leprechauns 34 to 18 and the Pittsworth Danes defeated Newtown Lions 56 to 12.

Valleys and Gatton sit atop the ladder with 8 wins, followed by Warwick and Wattles.

Minister for Health, Mental Health, and Ambulance Services Shannon Fentiman said the most recent quarterly performance data shows 72 per cent of patients in Queensland are seen in the recommended time frame.

“The rise in the urgency of cases, and the reduction in the availability and affordability of primary care, means that people who would have otherwise sought care in the community are now coming to our emergency departments,” Ms Fentiman said.

“Some of these patients will be less urgent and may need to wait for some time before receiving care from an emergency doctor.”

Shadow Health Minister Ros Bates said the Opposition has put solutions on the table including better resources, improving triaging, real time data monitoring and giving power back to local doctors and nurses.

It is Winter which means athletics season is upon us.

That usually means cold and windy weather, but last week, Cambooya State School held its annual athletics carnival and we were gifted with a beautiful day.

Everyone had to make sure they had hats and lots of sunscreen rather than ski jackets and beanies.

A fantastic day was had by all with some great competition and results.

Congratulations to our winning house Cunningham and our age champions, Chad, Quinn, Mila, Max, Peyton, Alex, Alyssa, William and Siena.
