"Almost a third of residents on the Fraser Coast are aged over 65, and theHervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre projects that figure will reach 35 percent by 2041."
Seems that I was right about Hervey Bay becoming the dementia capital of Australia. This article about dementia was published by the ABC today. It says that soon one third of the people in Hervey Bay will be over 65. If you want to write an article about dementia then Hervey Bay is certainly the place to go to. Also, it could be a good place to start up a funeral business.
ALP have an uphill struggle in Hervey Bay because elderly people tend to be conservative right-wing.
