Representing Flynn in the Federal Parliament

The electorate of Flynn is over 132,000 square kilometres and is almost twice the size of Tasmania.

It stretches from the Central Highlands to the West, Gracemere to the North, Gladstone to the East and Wondai to the South while taking in the towns in between.

I drive over 50,000 kilometres a year staying in touch with our local communities and spend around 20 weeks in Canberra representing you in Parliament.

My electorate offices are open in the following locations to service the large Flynn electorate:

  • 76 Goondoon Street, Gladstone QLD 4680
  • 2/115 Egerton Street, Emerald QLD 4720
  • 39 Capper Street, Gayndah QLD 4625

 

I’m committed to taking Flynn forward.

📢 Attention Local Aged Care Providers

The Labor Government’s Aged Care Bill is currently before a Senate Inquiry, and it's crucial that regional voices are heard. We need to ensure that our local providers have the opportunity to voice their concerns about how these reforms could impact regional services.

Submissions were initially sought by 30 September, but the Committee has confirmed they are still accepting submissions, with hearings scheduled up to 16 October. This is a vital chance for providers in our area to provide feedback and ensure their concerns are included in the final report, due by 31 October 2024.

If you haven’t already, I strongly encourage all local aged care providers to put forward their submission. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of aged care in our region.

I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with students attending the NBRC Careers Expo held at Monto last week. Organised by the BFVG (Bundaberg Fruit and Veg, should be able to tag them) to promote options for careers and pathways, it was well supported. Schools from across the North Burnett visited throughout the morning, and had the chance to meet with the organisations including the Police, Hospital and Health Services, Kewpie Stockfeeds, NBRC, and the ADF who challenged a few with push ups. I spoke with a few of the students about their plans for after high school and was impressed to hear that they wanted to return to the region, in the health care areas which desperately need employees. A few more good doctors and occupational therapists would be handy! ... See MoreSee Less

It was a pleasure to visit Clearview Christian College in Tannum Sands today, a relatively new high school that’s quickly growing and making a wonderful impact in our community. I had the opportunity to meet with Principal Melanie Loosmore, tour the school facilities, and attend the morning assembly with the staff and students.

A special moment of the visit was presenting the school with its very first flag, which we proudly raised on the flagpole together. It’s fantastic to see Clearview Christian College expanding and providing quality education to around 60 students already. I look forward to seeing the school continue to grow and support the next generation of leaders in our region.

A big thank you to the staff and students for the warm welcome!

🔵 Get to know the State LNP Candidates - Glen Kelly - LNP for Mirani 🟡

I'm pleased to endorse Glen Kelly as the LNP’s candidate for the state seat of Mirani.

Six generations of Glen’s family have lived on the same Kalapa property, where he and his wife Nikki are proud to be raising their two daughters.

As a grazier, he understands the pressures of running a business and managing the household budget in the face of ever-increasing costs.

Glen is a long-serving volunteer rural firefighter, who is passionate about protecting our rural way of life in Central Queensland.

Glen is incredibly passionate about Central Queensland. He has a common-sense approach and fire in his belly to tackle the issues that are important to locals.

Depending on where you are at the time of testing you may not hear the siren, but it is important to remember that the emergency sirens are one of many ways that will be used to alert you in the unlikely event of a dam failure.
