My pledge to you...
I am a born and bred North Queenslander who knows what matters to our region because I live and breathe it.
As your Federal Member for the last three years, I have worked hard to achieve the best outcomes I can for our community.
I have delivered on key projects, such as funding for stage 1B of the Northern Beaches Community Hub, the vital upgrade and extension of the Whitsunday Volunteer Marine Rescue Operations Centre and the new AEIOU Building dedicated to helping children and families with autism in Idalia, Townsville.
My Back the Bruce Campaign attracted over 1,500 signatures and saw the reinstatement of the 80:20 funding arrangement for the Bruce Highway. I will continue to fight to ensure we get our fair share of the funds here in Dawson.
My election commitments and those of the LNP are what we need to keep growing a stronger future in Dawson and get Australia Back On Track!
All the best,
Andrew Wilcox
