While the Council vote was unanimous, Cr Deb Palmer absented herself from the process because of a potential conflict of interest as her business in Blackbutt acts as an ticket agency for Brisbane Bus Lines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[UPDATED with correction] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2013\/11\/submission-not-possible-bus-company\/\">Submission &#8216;Not Possible&#8217;: Bus Company<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2013\/11\/no-submission-from-bus-company\/\">\u2018No Submission\u2019 From Bus Company<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2013\/11\/council-dollars-to-keep-buses-running\/\">Council Dollars to Keep Buses Running<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2013\/11\/mayor-meets-with-bus-company\/\">Mayor Meets With Bus Company<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2013\/11\/axe-falls-on-brisbane-bus-service\/\">Axe Falls On Brisbane Bus Service<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Burnett councillors have voted unanimously to subsidise the Brisbane-Murgon-Brisbane bus route until June 30 next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":49846,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[22,3],"tags":[1131],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.11 -
