    David Cullen resigns from Ipswich council and Shayne Neumann supports Queerswich in parliament

    In a shock announcement first-time Ipswich councillor Dave Cullen has resigned citing on-going health problems. Dave Cullen joins this episode of Ipswich Today to discuss what's behind his decision. Ipswich City Council CEO Sonia Cooper issued a statement which confirmed that under Section 166 of the Local Government Act 2009, there are two options to fill the vacancy Cr Cullen’s resignation creates. “If it is within the first 12 months of an election, councillors must decide by resolution to either hold a by-election, or have the Electoral Commission of Queensland offer the position to the runner-up of the 2024 Division 4 election ballot," she said.
