Hunter Valley bus tragedy impacts local community "IndyWatch Feed Qld"
Nine people remain in hospital a week after a deadly bus crash in the New South Wales Hunter Valley, which claimed the lives of 10 people.
The tragedy, which is Australias worst road accident in about three decades, has sent shock waves across the country. In the days following the crash, the Hunter Valley community was still trying to process the loss.
Hit particularly hard is the town of Singleton, home to about 25,000 people, where a number of those who died had lived.
Chaplains are providing pastoral care at crisis centres set up in Singleton and Branxton.
David Riethmuller from the Disaster Recovery Chaplaincy Network speaks about this tragedy and how it has impacted the community.

Migrating populations from cities to regional towns "IndyWatch Feed Qld"
Australian researchers have found that the migration of populations from major capital cities into smaller regional towns does not ease population growth pressures in major metropolitan cities.
As the cost of living skyrockets in major cities, some city dwellers are looking to escape the city for a more affordable and comfortable lifestyle in regional towns.
The new study recommends long-term management strategies to help alleviate potential issues arising from population growth in these regional areas in order to maintain their local regional lifestyle and careful population management.

Queensland election guide launched "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"
Ive been using this quiet period between elections to get ready for the elections of 2024, and as part of that I have now published my guide to the 2024 Queensland state election.
This will likely be the biggest election event of 2024, and the latest, scheduled for 26 October 2024.
While I am still waiting for electoral boundaries to be finalised before I can do the ACT, NT and NSW council elections, theres no redistribution needed for the Queensland state boundaries.
The guide features profiles of all 93 state seats. Each profile features the history and geography of the seat, and tables and maps showing the results. They will eventually feature candidate lists, but at the moment 16 months out from the election this section is pretty much entirely empty.
Most of this election guide is only available to people who chip in $5 or more per month via Patreon, but Ive unlocked four marginal seat guides as a free sample:
