With the 2009 Queensland State Elections we bid farewell to the Electorate of Kurwongbah and embrace the newly created electorate of Pine Rivers.  Our Pine Rivers Shire Council is no more, having been amalgamated with Redcliffe and Caboolture to form Moreton Bay Regional Council, but we in Dayboro can still claim to live in Pine Rivers - the Queensland electoral division.

Well the votes are it and counted with the result that the inaugural member for this newly created electorate is the ALP Candidate, Carolyn Male.  Congratulations Carolyn.  We look forward to seeing you at our Dayboro Day Festival on Sunday 31st May, as well as at other times throughout your term in office.
Carolyn is currently waiting to move into her electoral office at Strathpine - and hopefully that will have happened by the time this edition is out.
Congratulations also to Anna Bligh - Queensland’s first elected female Premier.  The ALP leads Queensland’s Government for another 3 year term.
