00:00 The leader took a trip to the Tamworth War Memorial Town Hall on Thursday morning, where

00:06 a special guest was holding a private meeting with our local councillors.

00:10 New South Wales Governor Margaret Beasley spoke with council for more than an hour on

00:15 some of the region's most pressing issues, including housing, water security and the

00:20 renewable energy transition.

00:21 Governor, how's your trip to Tamworth been so far?

00:26 Oh, just wonderful.

00:27 Thank you.

00:28 Excellent.

00:29 I've only been here for an hour, but so far if it keeps going like this, it's going to

00:33 be a really exciting day.

00:35 Excellent.

00:36 Thank you so much.

00:39 Thank you.

00:40 She genuinely does care about our regional communities, and you can see that in the conversations

00:44 we had here today when we talked about what our challenges were.

00:48 She was right across them, and of course, what are all the good things that are happening

00:53 in our region.

00:54 She's very interested in, and I said to her when she left, "You'd better come for country

00:58 music and I'll get you a guitar."

01:01 After the meeting, Ms. Beasley continued touring Tamworth, making stops at local schools, the

01:07 Country Music Hall of Fame, and finally delivering a personal thank you to emergency services

01:11 volunteers at the Rural Fire Service.

01:20 After leaving Tamworth, Governor Beasley will now be heading up to Inverell and Eurella

01:24 to continue her work in the region.
