Our Plan for
Callide
Better Regional Healthcare
Labor has sent our health system into crisis with critical services underfunded in our country communities. Local families are being deprived of the basic health services they need.
I continue to work hard every day to secure our country communities with the State Government funding needed to deliver better healthcare services. Local families deserve better access to healthcare and maternity services.
Getting tough on Crime
Our communities deserve to feel safe in their homes, businesses and when they go about their daily lives. Labor has allowed crime to go unchecked for far too long. Under-resourced police are powerless against a watered-down justice system that has let criminals get away with repeat offending. Labor’s soft crime laws have created a generation of youth offenders that have not had consequences for their actions.
We will fight to see our “Making Queensland Safer Laws” introduced into Queensland Parliament, putting the rights of victims first, and restoring community safety as a top priority. Adult Crime, Adult Time and removing detention as a last resort will unshackle the courts and deliver sentences that are in line with community expectations.
Supporting Local Industries and Jobs
More bureaucratic red and green tape has made it tough for farmers and local businesses. Our country communities are the engine room of Queensland’s economy but the State Government has neglected our regions for far too long. We need to unlock the potential of regional Queensland by supporting our local businesses to invest, grow and create more local jobs and career opportunities.
Fixing Local Roads and Regional Highways
Local roads need extra funding to fix the backlog of road maintenance works. We also need to be investing in building and upgrading regional highway networks to better connect our local communities and unlock economic growth.
Labor’s mismanagement has led to Queensland’s road maintenance backlog reaching close to $6 billion, putting our safety at risk.
