Councilor Ingrid Speaks Out: From Horse Racing to the Lord's Prayer and Fighting Against Overreach
One of the first things she did on council? Recite the Lord’s Prayer before a meeting—a move that stirred up both praise and outrage on social media. Ingrid laughs off the criticism, but the reaction reveals just how far the culture has shifted.
Trent and Ingrid discuss the importance of regular citizens, like her, getting involved in government for the right reasons—and the real challenges they face, from public scrutiny to the fear of lawsuits. Ingrid offers an honest update about her first five months in office and how many people are afraid to act due to the legal traps that come with public service.
Later, the conversation turns toward the decline of horse racing as a sport accessible to everyday people. With increasing government restrictions and rising costs, horse breeding and training are becoming hobbies only the elite can afford—especially in Australia where licensing hurdles now include providing personal tax records.
Trent and Ingrid also touch on how certain nations are starting to delay or backtrack from extreme animal emissions regulations, with the 2030 Agenda quietly shifting toward a 2050 timeline.
