As the final week of the state election campaign draws to a close Member for Burdekin Dale Last has offered his thanks to residents, community groups and business leaders who he’s worked alongside in his third term.
Mr Last said while the support over recent weeks had been humbling what was important was that the Burdekin had a strong voice on issues and projects that mattered to them.
“I have said it plenty of times but the Burdekin electorate is a powerhouse for the state’s economy from our agriculture and tourism industries in the east to our coal mines in the west and that needs to be supported so that it is in the best position to thrive well into the future,” Mr Last said.
“Having round the clock access to a new CT scanner at the Ayr Hospital and securing a new home for our firefighters have been projects this community has called for and I am proud to have committed to both of them.”
“There is also plenty to look forward to for sporting groups with a commitment to Burdekin Netball of $3.5 million to fund new courts, upgrade lighting and construct a new clubhouse, while Bowen Seagulls will see upgraded lighting at Denison Park.”
Mr Last said for too long Labor had left front line workers in Ayr without the ability to train at their own station or under added pressure to transport emergent cases an hour away for life saving CT scans.
“Time and time again this community called on Labor to do the right thing for its frontline workers and the residents that rely on it and we continued to see the door slammed in our faces,” Mr Last said.
“As the Member for Burdekin my focus has always been to work for you and part of that has been working with residents who put pen to paper to call for a CT scanner in their hometown or those who expressed their dismay at the circumstances our local firefighters were left with following the detection of PFAS chemicals.”
“With the final week of the campaign coming to a close I’d like to offer my personal thank you to everyone I have had the pleasure of working with during the last eight years as we strived to ensure the Burdekin was best placed for the future.”
