Regional Queensland deserves its fair share, and I’ll keep working towards securing more outcomes for our region.
Growing up on our family farm north of Brigalow and still living locally, I understand how important our agricultural and resource industries are for our communities.
As your member for Callide, I am standing up to protect local agriculture, mining and manufacturing jobs that are threatened by Labor.
