The Right Plan for Queensland's Future
✓ Safety where you live, through stronger laws like “Adult Crime, Adult Time” and gold standard early intervention.
✓ Health services when you need them, by investing more to clear waiting lists, and listening to doctors, nurses and paramedics who are on the frontline.
✓ Respect for your money, by stopping Labor's expensive failures and budget blowouts which are pushing up costs for families and small businesses.
✓ A place to call home, taking pressure off rents by working with councils to approve more homes and build better communities, and abolishing stamp duty for first home buyers purchasing a new house.
✓ A government that works for you, by ending the culture of silence and cover-ups and bringing back accountability and transparency to government.
Why we're backing David Kempton
It has been a breath of fresh air to have David Kempton come to our town and give us a bit of hope. We must get rid of the Labor Government in Brisbane, otherwise, we will continue to go backwards. I wish David all the best and hopefully, a change of government will get Mossman back on track.
Keith Ives, Cane Harvesting Contractor
David Kempton is a friend to agriculture in the Mareeba area and across Far North Queensland. He is always available and interested in our business. David turns up, so we support him.
Debbie Nucifora, Mango Grower, Mareeba
Sugar cane is the lifeblood of Mossman and after the disastrous floods that swept through our cafe last year, the local sugar mill going into liquidation could be the last straw. However, David has worked with us for months to try and find a solution and I believe there is now some hope for the future.
Peter McKeown, Small Business Owner
