Last month’s announcement by Sugar Terminals Limited (“STL”) that the company will be insourcing its sugar terminal operations has left cane grower groups outraged as they demand more clarity from the corporate sugar giant as to what the future will hold for sugar growers.
The alarming trend of regional bank closures is making it increasingly difficult for non-metropolitan based businesses and residents to access their banking needs. The latest announcement from Westpac to close its doors in Ingham from the 19th of May this year has left customers and bank employees high and dry.
Private banks are abandoning rural Australians at an alarming rate and are relying on public-owned infrastructure – namely the Australia Post network – to plug the local service deficits left in their wake, Katter’s Australian Party Leader and Traeger MP Robbie Katter has said.
THE closure of multiple branches of a major Australian bank in North Queensland has been labelled a “dangerous” set back for the region, while prompting calls from Katter’s Australian Party to reinstitute a public “people’s” bank.
RESIDENTS in populated areas of North Queensland have shared worrying stories of calls to emergency services dropping out due to poor mobile service which Kennedy MP Bob Katter has long pleaded with governments to improve.
