Your Voice. Your Noosa.

As an Independent Member of the Queensland Parliament, I am honoured to represent the wonderful diversity that is Noosa, not a political party or personal ideology. This is liberating and empowering for the residents of our electorate and provides opportunity to create a future that you have envisioned. One that is bold in researching ideas and trialling new ways to address our challenges, through the development of partnerships and a focus on what unites. One that encourages open discussion and respectful debate which concentrates on common ground and what can be achieved. One that considers all viewpoints and perspectives, with objective research and a passion for people, that puts Noosa first.

I am your voice. It is your Noosa.

𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇, 𝐄𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓 👨‍⚕️The proposed Bill seeks to strengthen protections, as well expand the disclosure of information about a registered health practitioner with information about sexual misconduct. Our committee recommended the bill should pass with amendments to clarify the definition and threshold of sexual misconduct, as it is currently too broad.

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏 𝐃𝐔𝐓𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐅 @ 𝐏𝐀𝐘𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐀𝐗 𝐄𝐗𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 💰 Even though the changes in the Revenue Legislation Amendment Bill will not resolve the housing crisis 🏘 it will assist in small ways including potentially seeing some extra rooms to rent. However, as I said, the duty relief will make little difference to areas such as Noosa that lack any affordable housing, or to those fleeing domestic and family violence which is the leading cause of homelessness among women. The payroll tax exemptions for GP’s 👨‍⚕️are welcomed, now we just need some relief for specialists and our small to medium businesses! Watch my full speech below 👇 ... See MoreSee Less

𝐊𝐄𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐍 𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐗 🚑 With fellow Health, Environment and Innovation (HEIC) members we immersed in the ‘behind the scenes’ of QLD’s emergency and disaster responses of which was incredibly impressive, and how I wish I could share photos of the technology! 👨‍🚒 This included a tour of the Brisbane Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Operations Centre, incorporating the Clinical Hub and the Retrieval Service Centre which this month will see an expansion commence, the Queensland Fire Department headquarters and the State Disaster Coordination Centre. Given the magnitude of what they must incorporate in their daily responses and strategies such as the recent floods in North QLD, potential communications threats and increasing mental health callouts, the job they do we should all be deeply grateful for 🙏. Thank you to COO Stephen Zsombok, QAS Medical Director Stephen Rashford, Assistant Commissioners Matthew Burlow, Alex Thompson and David Hartley, and Nursing Commissioner Donna McLean for the insights, as well answering our many Qs! 🙌 For Emergency Service resource head to 👉 www.getready.qld.gov.au/emergency-services-resources For more information on Disaster Management in Queensland visit 👉 www.disaster.qld.gov.au/ ...

🚨 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐄 🚨As demonstrated by ongoing home invasions, car thefts, and other serious offences 🚓 across QLD as well in our own electorate recently, the fear of increased incarceration through the “Adult Time, Adult Crime” legislation is not deterring offenders.😠 Hence why government must fast-track all remaining Youth Justice Inquiry (YJI) recommendations, including lowering the threshold for declaration of serious repeat offenders, and target those identified who are a risk to their communities before their next violent offense, not wait until they do. To view the 60 Youth Justice recommendations head to 👉 www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-the-Assembly/Tabled-Papers/docs/5724t612/5724t612-1b7e.pdf#page=8 ... See MoreSee Less
