20th April, 2012
Wide Bay’s Community Survey 2012 will be distributed to all households in the Federal electorate of Wide Bay from Monday, 30 April, inviting local people to express their opinions on the issues that are most important to them and our nation’s future, Federal Member for Wide Bay, Warren Truss said today.“Wide Bay is a great part of Australia, but there is more that can be done to make it better,” Mr Truss said.
“Wide Bay’s Community Survey 2012 invites people to identify and highlight the things that matter most to them on a range of local, state and national issues.
“This year’s survey follows on from Wide Bay’s Biggest Survey which I sent to every household in the electorate in 2009.
“More than 5,000 people responded to that survey and the results were used to inform debate and draw the Australian Parliament’s attention to the opinions of the survey’s respondents,” Mr Truss said.
The questions in Wide Bay’s Community Survey 2012 canvass opinions on subjects including health, transport, the economy, taxation, education, population, foreign ownership, law and order, resources and energy, the environment, and social and civic issues.
“Wide Bay’s Community Survey 2012 will gauge peoples’ support for ideas and proposals that sometimes come before parliaments that would impact on their local community and our region,” Mr Truss said.
“Wide Bay’s Community Survey 2012 will give people an opportunity to have their say and help me to ensure that their views are heard in the Federal Parliament.
“The results of the survey will be used to build a stronger community, and enhance our region’s place in Queensland and Australia,” Mr Truss said.
Wide Bay’s Community Survey 2012 will be distributed to all residences in the Wide Bay electorate from 30 April through until 6 May.
The survey should be returned to Mr Truss by folding and sealing the survey so the reply paid details are on the front and it should be posted by 31 May 2012.
“The results of the survey will be made publicly available and published on my website, www.warrentruss.com.”
