	Big Ideas 6 February 2005 - Australia Forums, series three, program two: Regional Rot or Renewal?
		Towong Shire is in northeast Victoria east from Albury-Wodonga.
		At the other end of the shire, we’ve got a reasonably typical pattern that you find in more isolated broad -acre areas of basically declining populations, and a countryside where the economy is pretty much dependent on agriculture, which has its advantages, but also some disadvantages.
		From the shire’s point of view, and I have been a person on the Council for a number of years, I see down there that I think that the potential of subdivision should be taken up as quickly as possible.

		MR BUNN: Your Honour, this is an agreement relating to one teacher in one kindergarten in the Shire of Towong.
		MR BUNN: And the explanation I have had is that that related to some difficulty or misunderstanding at the Shire Council's end so their failure to appear, of course, allows me to put that submission without fear of challenge but I would seek that you do exercise your discretion to proceed to certify this matter.
		As I said, it relates to one kindergarten teacher in the one kindergarten that the Shire operates and it is - I believe that the documentation before you demonstrates that the agreement meets the requirements of the Act.

	Media Release: BATCHELOR: DOYLE PLAN DISADVANTAGES TOWONG SHIRE
		The Minister for Transport, Peter Batchelor, today detailed how Robert Doyle’s subsidising of road tolls for motorists in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs will leave the people of regional Victoria out in the cold.
		“His plan to allocate $1.62 million over three years to the Shire of Towong for road funding is peanuts compared to the $800 million of Victorian taxpayers’ money he is going to use in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs to subsidise tolls.
		Mr Batchelor said the Leader of the National Party, Peter Ryan, had already condemned the Doyle plan because of the effect it would have on the provision of infrastructure in regional Victoria.
