James Bidgood (Dawson, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Hansard source

This budget delivers for the workers in Dawson and across the nation. All politics is local. Yes, we delivered the tax cuts. We promised them and we delivered them—more efficient, not four tax bands but three tax bands. It is all about local politics. It is all about the family around the kitchen table. It is all about looking after working people and their families, treating them with dignity and respect. What does that mean in the seat of Dawson? It means that we are going to deliver on building a multipurpose stadium for the people of Mackay and the region. The previous National Party member for the seat of Dawson went to two elections promising and promising but never delivering one cent to the rugby league and junior rugby league stadium.
