Meet David

I'm David Lee, your LNP candidate for Hervey Bay.

Since moving to the region seven years ago, I have been an active, vocal and visible member of the Hervey Bay community. Celebrating 40 years of marriage, with two sons and six grandchildren, I am proud to call Hervey Bay home.

As the son of small business owners, I know the value of hard work, community spirit and civic duty. I have been actively involved in the Fraser Coast Hospice Association, Meals on Wheels, Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, Rotary and the Leukemia Foundation.  I am an avid volunteer and advocate for the people of Hervey Bay.

I have enjoyed a diverse career as a solicitor, registered nurse, and army soldier. My experience as an Australian Army Medic and Theatre Technician, as well as the Chief Executive of various health and aged care services, has given me a solid understanding of the health care sector. I am particularly passionate about protecting the safety and security of our people.

It’s why I put my hand up to be your representative in State Parliament. I have spent the past four years representing Division 9 ratepayers on Fraser Coast Regional Council.

I want to take that advocacy a step further, because all Hervey Bay locals deserve a State representative who is active, vocal and visible.

The current Labor Member is silent on the issues that matter most in Hervey Bay. The Labor government has stopped listening on issues like crime, health and housing affordability.

In the lead up to the October 2024 State Election and beyond, I will be listening to locals in every corner of the Hervey Bay electorate. I look forward to working with the Crisafulli LNP team to deliver the right priorities for Hervey Bay’s future.
