Hi,

I'm

Let's talk some common sense!

WHERE DID COMMON SENSE GO?

Too many people are complaining about the decisions that our politicians are making for our communities. Many of us feel that common sense has gone out the door. It’s time to get informed and start holding our elected representatives to account.

It is a shame that it has taken a National Emergency for Logan City Council to now put in measures to help people financially, when so many have needed this relief A LOT earlier.

Since Australia Day, I have had a few people ask me what my stance is on changing the date that we celebrate our country. Under my leadership, should I be elected as Mayor of Logan, I will not be supporting any call to change the date. I am a migrant…

The luxury cars that the previous Logan City Council Mayor and councillors indulged in may have been recently scrapped by Interim Administrator Tamara O’Shea, however I have strong concerns that voters could unknowingly elect Councillors and a Mayor who will bring back the snout in the trough mentality and the…

Last week was the first time that ratepayers heard that the Interim Administrator has been inviting religious leaders of different faiths to open the Council weekly meetings. What I know is that residents want policies delivered and actions taken by Council that improves their quality of living – whether it…

Who is

Paul Taylor?

Paul Taylor has lived in Logan for 26 years with his wife and two children – in Cornubia, Rochedale South, Boronia Heights and Shailer Park, because he knows that Logan is a great place to live with it’s strategic positioning between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

This is why Paul chose to base his business here and this is why he has a solid understanding of your concerns and the direction that you want our city to take.

Growing up in India, Paul Taylor has seen poverty and was driven to work hard in order to achieve a better future for himself. He first discovered Australia in 1984, attending his brother’s wedding here, and 8 months later, he was welcomed as a permanent resident.

Paul soon joined Coles Supermarkets as an Assistant Store Manager and within the year, he had notched up 3 promotions to became a Store Manager – in this role, he turned around a department in 3 months, becoming the only team to achieve the budgeted result, in Victoria. Paul continued to advance his career and ended up controlling one of the company’s largest million dollar businesses in General Merchandise Variety; he liaised with people such as Ita Buttrose and represented the company overseas .

Today, Paul runs his own small business, creating the best granite memorials. He takes pride in employing Logan locals where his business is located and despite experiencing racial intolerance, he has never given up and has built a successful business that has captured 40% of the market.

Paul’s concern for the mediocre leadership at many levels of government has disappointed him and it is this poor standard that has propelled him to take the plunge to now stand for Mayor for the City of Logan. Paul Taylor has an insatiable appetite to bring to the city a degree of Efficiency, Transparency and Accountability…. Something that Logan has not seen in a long while.
