Footprint's Dr Lee and Patricia Morris attended the Bush Summit held in Townsville on Friday 23rd August 2024.
Presentations included, from Prime Minister Hon. Anthony Albanese, Opposition leader Hon. Peter Dutton, Queensland Premier Steven Miles and shadow Minister, David Cristafulli.

The event was hosted by the courier Mail and is one of several Bush Summits to be held across Australia.

There was a vast range of topics discussed including Energy Futures and the many projects planned and being implemented by Copperstring, Powerlink and Ampol, for example.

Townsville's focal point is in northern Queensland and across the state. There was a focus on keeping the regions connected in various ways.

Professor Grace Smallwood talked about ongoing problems still to be resolved in Indigenous Communities.

Overall, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet and listen to the country's leaders and recent innovations, and the challenges we are facing today and into the future!
