At an administration, finance and fire committee on May 17, West Lincoln councillors voted to award a contract to build a new fire station to a local construction firm. The motion still needs to be approved by council, but if it is approved, then the groundbreaking ceremony could be as early as June. T

Morrison and Opposition leader Anthony Albanese made whistle-stop tours across marginal seats in the final two days of a campaign dominated by rising living costs, climate change, national security and integrity.
