1: Throughout its history, Labor has been a progressive force for workers and working families, especially for women, establishing many of the reforms and initiatives that continue to drive gender equality to this day. Without Labor, we wouldn’t have Medicare! I am a big believer in improving Healthcare without cuts. We need more hospital beds and more health workers, not less, plus returning Coal Royalties to region is the only way we are going to fix the Bruce Highway. I have already secured $157M in fully committed funding for the Peak Downs Highway and The Bruce Highway north of Bowen is next on my list.
2: I have more than one commitment and they are not just promises. If elected my commitments will happen as the money is fully funded. Burdekin Netball Association Facilities redevelopment: $3.5m, Clermont Swimming Centre upgrade: $3.2m, Bowen Wood Turners Association: $10,000, Hinterland Community Care Funding: $42, 000, Burdekin’s Men’s Sheds: $40,000. TAFE pilot program: $10m, Plus the $157M fully funded commitment to Burdekin Electorate Roads and the Peak Downs Highway.
3: Any promise or commitment that benefits regional communities is a positive. We need to ensure the Burdekin electorate is seen and heard by State and Federal Government, not looked over.
4: Talking trash, No. Highlighting lack of representation or in some cases informing the public that a job could have possibly been done better is sometimes just a fact of life in politics as it can inform the voter to reconsider the current representation.
5: After a long time in Local Government, 12 of those as Mayor, people who know me expect me to continually work for my community. If elected, after this campaign I may take half a day off before I officially start LOL! On a serious note, I will wholeheartedly support the Sugar Industry in their journey towards producing biofuels, bioplastics and other renewables to be sustainably produced replacements for fossil fuel-based products. I believe this is the way of the future for the industry, which may be unexpected for an ALP Candidate. I will fight to reduce electricity costs for farmers and fight to improve water quality and river health.
