Around 1998 4ZZZ, 4MBS, and Family Radio started broadcasting from the one installation at Mt Coot-tha. Prior to this 4MBS and Family Radio had merely leased land beside 4ZZZ but then Brisbane City Council decided that having three transmission towers and huts in the one place was an eyesore and encouraged the three radio stations to share facilities. This resulted in the three radio stations developing a company called Broadcasting Park to negotiate with the Council. This company consisted of three shares, one owned by each member station.
Agforce’s stance on CSG under fire
The Wide Bay-Burnett Conversation Council in southern Queensland has accused farm lobby group Agforce of “sitting on the fence” when it comes to coal seam gas exploration.
Council spokesperson Roger Currie says the group, which is lobbying for a CSG moratorium and has been holding government-funded information sessions in Tiaro, south-west of Maryborough, hasn’t been representing landholder’s interests.
Agforce chief executive Robert Walker said that although the group has received partial funding, it does not mean that they support coal seam gas mining.
