Meet One Nation Candidate Andrew Elborne

Andrew Elborne, One Nation Candidate for Burdekin in the upcoming State Election, has a deep-rooted passion for improving regional communities, shaped by his personal experiences and commitment to youth and mental health. His journey into politics is driven by a desire to provide real solutions for communities like the Burdekin. Elborne’s values align closely with One Nation’s mission of reducing unnecessary legislation and supporting regional development.
Having worked with troubled youth and fostered 62 children, Elborne has witnessed first-hand the challenges faced by young people in regional areas.
“There’s not enough work for kids, and idle minds cause trouble,” he says, reflecting on the need for more opportunities and youth programs in towns like Ayr and Home Hill. He believes that government cuts to such initiatives are leading to greater problems, and he is committed to reversing this trend by advocating for more industry and jobs.
A major advocate for the agricultural community, Elborne is passionate about addressing issues such as the red tape that hinders farmers from efficiently running their businesses. He strongly opposes the growing number of regulations placed on farmers, believing that diversity in farming, such as introducing hemp cultivation in the Burdekin, could offer a sustainable alternative to traditional crops like sugar cane.
Elborne also emphasises the importance of being directly involved with the community.
“The easiest way to ensure voices are heard is to be on the streets, talking to people,” he explains. His goal is to remain an active volunteer in local initiatives and stay connected with the concerns of his electorate, ensuring they are represented in Queensland’s Parliament.
