Newly elected Member for Mirani, Glen Kelly, has wrapped up his first week in Queensland Parliament, delivering his maiden speech and stepping into his roles as a member of the Primary Industries and Resources Committee and Deputy Government Whip.
A proud grazier and passionate advocate for regional Queensland, Mr. Kelly is focused on ensuring the voices of the Mirani electorate are heard loud and clear in Parliament.
Reflecting on his first week, Mr. Kelly said, “It has been an incredible honour to stand in Parliament as the voice of Mirani. My maiden speech was an opportunity to highlight the values and resilience of our community while laying the foundation for the work ahead. Being entrusted with roles on the Primary Industries and Resources Committee and as Deputy Whip reinforces my commitment to representing the interests of our region and our industries.”
Mr. Kelly emphasised his eagerness to transition from Parliament to working on the ground, connecting directly with constituents as his electorate office prepares to open.
“I am currently working hard on recruiting my team, to ensure my office is fully operational by January. This will be a vital hub for the Mirani community—a place where residents can share their concerns and ideas, and where we can work together on the solutions that will move Mirani forward,” Mr. Kelly said.
In his role on the Primary Industries and Resources Committee, Mr. Kelly is determined to advocate for the region’s vital industries, including agriculture, mining, and resources.
“These industries are the backbone of our electorate, and I’m committed to ensuring they have the support they need to grow and thrive,” he said.
As Deputy Government Whip, Mr. Kelly is also looking forward to playing a key role in fostering collaboration and unity within his parliamentary team.
Over the coming months, Mr. Kelly will focus on connecting with residents, local businesses, and community groups, ensuring Mirani remains a priority in government decision-making.
“This first week is just the beginning. I am committed to fighting for better infrastructure, supporting our industries, and addressing the needs of our families and communities. There is a lot to do, and I’m ready to get started,” he added.
