Subscriber only LNP Member for Capricornia Michelle Landry has released some statistics of the number of people that will benefit from the Federal Government s budget announcement. This budget lays out a plan for tax cuts for low- and middle-income earners, more jobs, better conditions for small and medium sized business to prosper as well as major investment in roads and infrastructure for Capricornia, Ms Landry said.

“It was 2019 that (CQ Uni Art Collection Manager) Sue Smith approached me about holding an exhibition of my works,” Ms Worthington said.
“Sue had been following my work for many years.
“I’d kept a folder of all of my exhibitions over the years and Sue took that and was able to weave it all together.”

The University of Technology Sydney is providing a $2 million boost for Australian researchers, offering an additional 70 domestic research scholarships this year as pandemic border restrictions continue to keep away international students.
Professor Kate McGrath, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) at UTS, said the increase in scholarships to 234 from 163 last year would help âunderwrite this next generation of Australian researchersâ.
âThis investment is critical to maintain the universityâs research capacity over the coming years, particularly to fill the gap that will continue as long as borders remain closed to international research students,â she said.
