Air Conditioners for State School classrooms

Today our kids will sizzle in school...air conditioners in schools should be a standard requirement.

Congratulations to all of our wonderful Everton volunteers!

On Sunday the 4th of November I held the annual Everton Volunteer Awards! This is a fantastic opportunity to highlight and say thank you to the wonderful volunteers who are responsible for making our community to special!

I couldn’t think of a more worthy “Everton Volunteer of the Year” than Mel Dunning (bottom right)- Albany Creek State High School P&C, Albany Creek Gymnastics Club, School Chaplaincy, Shave for a Cure ...just to name a few. Congratulations again Mel!

South Pine Road Traffic accidents

In Parliament this week I challenged the Minister for Main Roads to act immediately on a dangerous section of Sth Pine Road (I only got 3 minutes).

The LNP's Plan to Reduce Electricity Bills

The annual reports just released by the Annastacia Palaszczuk government show that the state-owned power generators last year delivered an underlying combined profit of over one billion dollars. 

The Palaszczuk government is using electricity as a secret tax while regular Queenslanders and businesses are suffering under crippling power prices.

Today I announced the LNP's plan to restructure the power generators from two to three, creating more competition and reducing prices. 

This is something that’s backed by the ACCC (Australian Crime and Corruption Commission) and Labors own productivity commission.

The LNP is the only one with a real plan to reduce electricity bills.

Moreton Bay Regional Council- Make a decision about your planning scheme!

Last night I asked the State Planning Minister to hurry up and make a decision about the Moreton Bay Regional Council's amendment to their planning scheme. People's lives are on hold. Make a decision and make a good one!

Good News- new traffic signals will be switched on this week at the intersection of Old Northern Road and Explorer Drive

Good News- new traffic signals will be switched on this week at the intersection of Old Northern Road and Explorer Drive, Albany Creek. 

I've been fighting for safety improvements on our roads for a long time and any step forward is one in the right direction for the people of Albany Creek. 

The following safety improvements have been delivered at the intersection:

• An extended southbound right-turn lane on Old Northern Road to increase capacity for turning vehicles;
• A high-angle entry treatment for motorists turning left from Explorer Drive onto Old Northern Road to improve visibility;
• A signalised pedestrian crossing across Explorer Drive (at the western side of the intersection).

A new footpath on the eastern side of Old Northern Road is currently in the design phase. Following this, construction on the new footpath will begin to provide safe passage across Old Northern Road.

What a day at the Ekka!

On Tuesday I was lucky enough to spend some time at the EKKA. I worked in the Prince Charles Foundation Strawberry Sundae Stall, played some handball for charity with Hit105 and got to meet some inspiring Queensland farmers.
