Like many Queenslanders, my story starts with a migrant family. 

In 1960 a man known as Frank took a leap of faith and left his homeland of Italy for North Queensland. He saw Queensland as a land of opportunity. A place where, with a lot of hard work and a bit of luck, he could build a home and provide for his family.

Over 60 years later, my family still believes Queensland is a land of opportunity. But they also see Queenslanders being held back by a dysfunctional government veering into a state of chaos and crisis.

Restoring Queensland’s opportunity is what drives me every day.

Opportunity is also what drives Queenslanders. That’s the message we’ve heard as we have travelled the State. Queenslanders see a collapsing health system, a lack of affordable housing options, a youth crime crisis and a government that has given up honestly working for them.

They are frustrated the current Government is no longer listening to Queenslanders’ priorities and the Government is focused on themselves rather than our State’s future.
