To grow Queensland, we need a robust economy, with strong mining and agriculture, sensible regulation, lower taxes, great roads, targeted government policies and investment, and more well-paid jobs.
As a representative of all Queenslanders, a large part of my role is reminding governments that a healthy Queensland makes for a strong Australia.
As part of Northern Australia, Queensland â especially regional, rural and remote parts â has a major role to play in defence, tourism and meeting the worldâs need for our resources.
That is why I am focused on growing Queensland for you.
Shadow Minister for Resources and Northern Australia, Senator Susan McDonald has lashed Laborâs new working holiday visa arrangements, warning regional employers will struggle to keep businesses running and get crops to market.
The Federal Governmentâs treatment of Queensland councils is shaping as the one disaster they wonât be able to recover from.
Laborâs proposed changes to the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements should alarm every Queenslander who relies on the food and resources produced in our regions.
The Coalition will introduce legislation to help both the Whyalla steelworks blast furnace and bring back the manufacture of structural steel, as well as help the Tomago aluminium smelter and Queenslandâs Boyne aluminium smelter, by fast-tracking critical energy projects and reversing Laborâs changes that hold back critical projects.
The Coalitionâs number one gas policy priority is more gas, for Australians, delivering cheaper power bills. Todayâs release of Laborâs draft domestic gas reservation policy provides a welcome opportunity for the Coalition to scrutinise critical domestic energy policy by a Government that has failed to deliver cheaper energy for Australians.
