Latest Issues

Senator Trood visited the Barcoo and Diamantina Shires recently, travelling with the Mayors, Bruce Scott and Rob Dare. They visited Stonehenge, Jundah, Windorah, Coopers Creek, Deon's Lookout, Birdsville, the Birdsville Track and the Big Red. See some of the highlights in the photo gallery.

Constituents in these shires discussed their concerns with Senator Trood. These included transport infrastructure, particularly sealing of roads, telecommunication services, water management, postal services, rural power and health, especially access to specialist services.

Some of the highlights for Senator Trood were meeting with the local communities and the opportunity to view incredible landscape, as well as the Jindalee Over the Horizon Radar Site, Ergon Energy Solar farm and the Ergon Geothermal Power Station.
