2023 was a very busy year advocating for our region, and 2024 is likely to be just as busy … but our region has had some significant wins along the way and I want to see this continue into the future<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 20, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s Christmas Time, and as we approach the festive season and the New Year I would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, good health, happiness and prosperity for 2024.<\/p>\n

This year has certainly been a busy one, advocating for key local issues such as health, roads, crime and agriculture as well as continuing to hold the Labor Government to account.<\/p>\n

It seems incredible that just last year so many areas across the Electorate were recovering from flooding, yet in the space of barely 12 months the situation is almost the complete opposite.<\/p>\n

I have been advocating for a drought declaration for our region and will continue to highlight our plight with the Government.<\/p>\n

The recent rains, however, have provided some hope and relief for many of our producers.<\/p>\n

We are now less than one year away from the next State election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The LNP recently released our blueprint for Queensland – \u2018The Right Priorities for Queensland\u2019s Future<\/b><\/a>\u2019 – which was developed by listening to Queenslanders and the issues that matter to them.<\/p>\n

This is just the start and I look forward to sharing our detailed policies as they are released.<\/p>\n

As always, it is an honour to represent you and our beautiful part of the world and I send my heartfelt wishes for a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.<\/p>\n
