The Tenants' Union Annual General Meeting was held in New Farm on Friday 23rd September.
Queensland Attorney General, Linda Lavarch was guest speaker and officially launched the Tenants' Union Small Claims Tribunal video "Having Your Say". In her presentation Ms Lavarch reiterated the importance of access to the court system and commended the excellent work undertaken by the Tenants' Union.
