We fought for it and now you’ve got it. The LNP has finally bowed to pressure and employed a doctor at Kilcoy Hospital. This is a big win for the community who didn’t have a doctor at their emergency department 24/7.

Since David Crisafulli became Premier, ambulance ramping has increased month on month. It’s now at 40.5%. That’s after they promised that they’d drive down ramping wait times. And his solution is to gut Labor’s hospital expansion program.

BREAKING: David Crisafulli has backflipped on his Sunshine Coast heavy rail promise, replacing rail with buses. David Crisafulli promised he would deliver heavy rail to Maroochydore by 2032, “no ifs, no buts, no shortcuts”.

FACT: David Crisafulli promised there would be no new stadiums. David Crisafulli has been a long-time opponent of a new stadium. He promised he wouldn’t build one. But it seems that was just a lie.

David Crisafulli has ordered that work stop on the construction of our Redcliffe Hospital Expansion from next Friday. We put shovels in the ground last year to get this 204 bed expansion project online. But David Crisafulli’s stop work order has resulted in many workers being made redundant.

David Crisafulli is standing in the way of more affordable homes being built right now. This LNP Government needs to stop blocking housing projects and get on with the job of building.

Supporting Queensland women starts with investing in healthcare and support services. Emma and the team at Women’s Health and Equality Queensland offer counselling, therapy and health education for women across the state.

Getting our schools back on their feet is such an important first step for their communities. Some schools have really copped it - like Dakabin State School in my patch. But thanks to my dad, Principal Michael Drake and Rhiannyn Douglas, it’s now looking just a little neater.

Heavy rainfall is expected to continue today throughout SEQ. This may lead to moderate and even major dangerous flooding. Winds of up to 90km/h remain across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

As Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches it’s important that you are taking the time to get ready. We met with the Moreton Bay Local Disaster Management Committee this morning. The message is that many areas could be facing extended power outages, flooding and isolation.

There is a possibility of Tropical Cyclone Alfred making landfall between Bundaberg and the Gold Coast this week. The Bureau of Meteorology has warned of major flooding, strong winds, and coastal erosion.

Renee Coffey for Griffith is a fighter.   From reconciliation to family support to youth mental health, Renee will always push for what she believes is right.   Couldn’t be prouder to help launch her campaign for Griffith last night – see you out on the hustings.

The next stage of construction on our Coomera Hospital has been paused by David Crisafulli. Work began last year to get this 404 bed hospital delivered to relieve pressure on our health system. But this LNP Government has chosen to pause construction on hospitals across the state.

Before the election David Crisafulli said he would deliver heavy rail to Maroochydore by 2032, no ifs, no buts, no shortcuts. But now this LNP Government has walked back their iron-clad election commitment.

North Queenslanders are strong, resilient and put up a good fight. They’ve seen and recovered from a lot in the past. These floods have been immense, arrived quickly and wreaked havoc on so many communities, including Ingham.

It’s times like these that the Queensland spirit is on full display. This is Adrian, from Bundock Fresh Food Hub who is donating fresh food packages to those affected in his community. Putting meals on the table for families who have lost so much. Thank you Adrian.

The temporary bridge to Ingham over the Ollera Creek has just been completed. Thank you to everyone involved with getting Ingham connected again. In times like these, Queenslanders rally together.
