1: Previously the people’s Mayor of the Whitsunday Regional Council, I am a mother and a grandmother with a passion for representing my community to ensure the world we are creating for our children is one worth living in. I didn’t go into politics to become a career politician, I did it to give my community a real voice. I have the guts to say what most people are thinking, and I can have a much stronger voice in State Government.
2: I can’t pick one issue, there are so many that are affecting the lives of our community, the cost of living, the Bruce highway, youth crime and no one is listening. There is too much talk and no action and I intend to bring action. I will do what it takes until something is done, even if it takes blocking the roads to parliament to give the politicians a taste of what it’s like when the Bruce Highway is closed.
3: By listening to them. I am sick to death of the bureaucracy and top-down leadership that continually tell our communities what’s good for them and how we should run our businesses and lives. Community consultation is mainly undertaken by stakeholder groups chosen by the government to give the government the answers they want to hear. It’s an honour and a privilege to represent your community and the role of your local Member is to represent you first.
4: They want a politician that actually stands up for them, who has the guts to say what they are thinking. They want government accountability and for more debate and community say in legislation that is being pushed through with little opposition. LNP and Labor will tell you a minor party vote is a wasted vote, it’s not it is actually a vote for the people and from the cross bench we can start holding whoever is in government to account.
5: My 100-day plan is to go into every community large and small and hold a town meeting to listen and workshop the needs of that community. I want to ensure we are setting our priorities together. This will also include touching base with all the major stakeholder groups like schools, police, community groups, emergency services and Councils. I want to start with a fresh slate and at the end of 100 days know my electorate and its real needs personally.
