What's ahead in the chamber, Planes Trains and Autos and Ipswich sounds to keep you guessing

After a hectic few weeks with the council election and Ipswich West by-election your humble host had a week off. Now back in the studio I reminisce about ANZAC Day when at school, speculate on what’s ahead in the Ipswich City Council chamber, pop in some local news and talk about a new feature coming soon to the podcast called Sounds of Ipswich.
