TODAY the Livingstone Shire Council, located nearly 8 hours drive North of Brisbane, voted to become "pro choice" by rejecting government advice to medically discriminate between who they serve and employ in local businesses.

The Council gathered in an extraordinary council meeting with the sole purpose of sending a message to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk following a passionate meeting attended by over 500 people, a majority of whom were local business owners.

The Shire has achieved a remarkable demonstration of unity and mateship in the face of divisive fear-mongering by the Government. This movement was sparked by a handful of concerned locals who wanted to know what others thought, and got the ball rolling.

Their story in this video can inspire and encourage business owners in every city and shire around our beloved Australia.
