CSB - Sandra Faulkner - Federated Farmers local government spokesperson

Federated Farmers is cautiously welcoming signals from the Government that a major shake-up of local government is on its way.

"This discussion is long overdue and will be welcome news for farming families and rural ratepayers," says Federated Farmers local government spokesperson Sandra Faulkner.

Localism must sit at the heart of local council reforms, Faulkner says.
