Andrew Elborne Burdekin Candidate For One Nation

My name is Andrew Elborne, age 59, born in Brisbane. I attended a catholic school until grade 10 left to pursue a trade as an electrician. I have worked in construction and believe there is major room for improvement in the power generation base load field area. I have been a proud foster parents to 63 children over the years, I have also been part of peer support programs and men’s mental health groups.

Today’s education system does not cater to youth wanting to do trades and not university. Also, putting into law adult time for youth is not fixing the problem it makes them harder criminals. I consider it a privilege to serve in the community and no issue will be too big or small to address. The issues the Burdekin faces are big indeed but to address them I would set up a community forum to discuss the issues.

Diversity in our community is generally viewed as a good outcome, but in terms of fair access to government services it's important we treat all Queenslanders the same. Government assistance and services must be based on what is needed by the individual. An example of diversity in our community is the growth of elderly Australians as a proportion of the population. One Nation will be prioritising health care for senior Australians with the establishment of dedicated hospitals catering to older people's needs.

What many people are telling me they want is relief from the rising cost of living. I think it's important to tackle the causes rather than spend taxpayers' money funding handouts. One Nation will move immediately to eliminate stamp duty from rising insurance premiums. We'll implement an independent energy policy that prioritises affordability over climate change and reduce energy costs for Queensland households.

If I did have the support of Burdekin voters to be their MP, I'd first establish an electorate office with good staff who understand that we will put our community first. I will aim to be an accessible MP who is accountable and listens to his community. And also take in what legislation no longer serves the community and remove it - the one thing no other party has done.
