Back in Queensland Parliament for another week with Dr Christian Rowan MP and all my colleagues.

While the overall outcome of the Federal election was disappointing, I really commend our Queensland LNP - Liberal National Party - especially Ted O'Brien MP - Federal Member for Fairfax Andrew Wallace - LNP Federal Member for Fisher Terry Young MP and Peter Dutton who represent parts of our wonderful state electorate of Glass House.

The LNP still hold 70% of the Federal seats in Queensland - 21 of 30. The Labor party have possibly dropped to just five!

But the big test for the Palaszczuk State Government is that she has now run out of excuses. The Premier can’t blame “Canberra” now.

So, I’m really looking forward to representing you in Parliament this week. ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know, in my lifetime (by 2041), the Moreton Bay region will have a larger population than Tasmania!! It’s already the third largest council area in Australia and the fastest growing.

That brings challenges. But it also brings great opportunities. I love what Mayor Peter Flannery and his team are doing in “reimagining” what we could become. Starting with being rebranded a “City” rather than a “Region”.

But what do you think? Check out the link below and have your say!
