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.
Yet Queenslanders remain confident in the underlying fact we live in a state with unmatched resources, a great environment, and endless possibilities. They just want a government that will help Queensland reach its potential.
My job is to chart a new course for our State, restore confidence, and make Queensland the land of opportunity once more. My job is to focus on Queenslanders’ priorities.
An LNP Government will do this by providing stability and governing with integrity. We will provide better services for you. Most importantly, we will deliver on the promises we make.
Queenslanders have spoken and we have listened. This document presents the priorities Queenslanders have outlined to us and provides a blueprint for an LNP Government to lead the State forward.
I look forward to working with you to deliver the right priorities for Queensland’s future.
