In the lead up to Election Day, locals can vote early at St Paul’s Anglican Church Hall. The church is at 2 Corundum Street, Stanthorpe. The church is open for early voting on Thursday 19 May from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, and on Friday 20 May from 8:30 am to 6 pm. Everywhere you can vote on Saturday 21 May is listed on page 3

Southern Downs residents who have been impacted by flooding can now access financial assistance and support services. Minister for Communities and Housing Leeanne Enoch said this included Emergency Hardship Assistance grants, of up to $180 per person and $900 for a family of five or more, to support residents experiencing financial hardship as a result of this flooding.

Also on page 3, we’ve broken down what’s happening with the Senate election, also happening on Saturday 21 May. On pages 8, 9, and 11, we’ve asked the candidates for Maranoa the questions locals wanted answered. Covering their stance on climate change, how they’re going to look after our roads, their views on the Ag Visa, how they’re going to support our growers, and more, it’s a must-read before you hit the voting booths.
