Abandoned mining camps are sad but low rental. Can you buy some concrete mix and do some gutters?
We'd be thrown in jail - there are strict rules, no unauthorized work can be done on govt land. We vote people in via compulsory voting to get these jobs done except democracy don't work too well out here. We need a new type of "People Power", one with power
Forget voting based on party or policies. Keep voting out existing Mp's and Councillors until one decides to act. As long as they feel they're safe because people will vote for them anyway,
you're remain a low priority and nothing will get done. It came out a couple of years ago that liberal party Mp's have access to a computer programme that tells them how you vote based on past experience, social media posts etc. If you call a for example,a liberal party mp, and the programme tells him you vote liberal, the receptionist will probably tell you he's busy or unavailable. Same goes for a labor voter calling. If their computer programme tells them you're a swinging voter or undecided, he'll take your call. Their logic is that He hasn't got time to talk to everyone who calls, especially during an election campaign, so he only talks to those whose vote he can hope to gain.
The labor party will have their own version of the same programme.

Yes that's it, we are low priority, we are not Australian tax payers or rate payers or deserving of luxuries like footpaths or street lighting
We don't live in a spot for tourists or campers who get a free ride when they come here. We are not the residents who pick up the tab for those visitors. Perhaps we don't exist at all, maybe we only exist in imaginations
My rate's bill has a fee for sewerage, that might be alright, except there's no sewerage here, not for a small village like ours. Why am I paying a fee for sewerage?
The Council abolished "Wards", so what's left is a clique of Councilors looking after themselves and whatever the State govt dictates. Rate payers come a poor second
Actually, we should take things into our own hands and charge the tourists and campers a fee to enter the village, then all the begging from 1949-on would cease and work around the village could begin, hiring contractors
