Dr Daniel Carroll, a paediatric surgeon with 13 years of experience in both public and private healthcare, is standing to promote health equity in the Burdekin region. His career has exposed him to the challenges disadvantaged communities face, and now, he aims to close the gap by engaging in politics. He has received strong support from the Katter Australian Party, a values-based party that aligns with his stance on justice, anti-crime policies, and infrastructure reform, areas he feels are often neglected by major parties over the last decade.
A key issue for Dr Carroll is tackling crime through policies such as Castle Law, having personally experienced a home invasion. He believes solutions like relocation sentencing, sending offenders to rural areas for rehabilitation, can make a significant difference. Dr Carroll also advocates for infrastructure improvements, particularly for primary producers and the mining industry, vital to the Burdekin economy.
He is focused on unlocking the region’s potential, highlighting the need to divert funds from southeast Queensland’s Olympic plans to support regional infrastructure like roads and aquaculture. Health equity, particularly investing in primary and public healthcare, is central to his platform. Dr Carroll envisions a North Queensland children’s hospital, which he believes will attract world-class talent and create lasting improvements in the healthcare system.
Dr Carroll argues that, for real change, voters need to step away from the major parties and support those committed to the future of rural and regional Queensland.
