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.
Leadership challenge finally here
Julia Gillard has stated she will announce a ballot for the leadership of the Labor Party.
The announcement comes after weeks of speculation and Kevin Rudd’s resignation as Foreign Minister.
Gillard has promised she will step down as leader if the votes go against her and she will also renounce any further claims to the Labor Party leadership.
The ballot will be held on Monday and is hoped to put an end to allegations of a leadership struggle within the party.
