Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Bauke Hovinga Whitsunday Candidate For Labor

1: As a health professional, now working as an Emergency Physician, I have seen firsthand how the community’s health and wellbeing thrives when Governments invest in healthcare and health infrastructure. As a local dad of five kids aged between 10-21, cost of living relief is vital to our family. I want to continue on Labor’s commitment to doing what matters to Whitsunday families by providing free Kindy, free TAFE as well as $1000 energy rebate, and 20% off car rego.
 
 
2: My health background allows me to know how important the satellite hospital in Mackay’s Northern Beaches will be to the region. And I know this is all at risk under the LNP. I am committed to new Premier Steven Miles’ plan to train more doctors, nurses and health professionals and to attract and retain them in our beautiful region.
 

3: It is so important to listen to the community and meet them where they are. Our local Whitsunday community is diverse and filled with so many wonderful people, the only way I could ensure their needs were met by their local representative is to do what Labor MPs do best – listen and act.
 

4: Cost of living relief is what local families want now. We have seen the pressure interstate migration has put on our community, so the new Premier Steven Miles’ cost of living measures have really had a positive impact on our community.
 
5: My focus right now is to talk to as many people in my community as possible from now and until election night. I want to talk to the people of Whitsunday about Labor’s plan in doing what matters for Whitsunday. And talk about the risks the LNP pose to our community. This election is a choice between a Miles Labor Government taking Queensland forwards or the Crisafulli LNP who will cut what matters and take us backwards.
