Townsville residents will head to a by-election, where Mr Thompson has indicated he will re-contest.

Following our @ACurrentAffair9 story, Troy Thompson has now lost the confidence of his Councillors.
All ten of them have called for him to step down.

Time check:
It’s been 21 says since the US Presidential debate;
5 days since the assassination attempt on Donald Trump;
And more than 100 days until the election.
The nation’s last COVID-era Premier steps down.

It was the decisions of STATE governments that impacted Australians the most… but the Federal Government’s COVID-19 Response Inquiry will not examine them.
How can we hope to be better next time, if key decision-makers are excluded?

Ok well this is a little concerning in the Terms of Reference. Check out this exclusion:
"The following areas are not in scope for the Inquiry:
Actions taken unilaterally by state and territory governments"
That's pretty much everything they did......

“I am not a racist, and I don’t believe that the majority of Australians are racist. I do believe that the No campaigners are using racist tactics.”
That’s Marcia Langton on the false claim in that she called voters racist and stupid.
