This might come as a surprise but Bundaberg Regional Council has 900 people who work in communications.
Every single Councillor and every Council employee communicates every working day, either internally with colleagues or externally with the public.
This includes the smiling faces at the front counter, call centre operators, community development workers, rangers, venue managers, etc.
So, when a journalist starts asking about the size of the communications team and its budget, I immediately suspect self-interest on the part of their employer.
