John McVeigh (Groom, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

I would like to acknowledge the recent Queensland electoral success of my state parliamentary colleagues whose electorates coincide with my federal electorate of Groom. Pat Weir has been returned as the LNP member for Condamine. He's a fierce advocate for his region, even working tirelessly with me on federal issues such as PFAS at Oakey, inland rail planning and Warrego Highway upgrades.

David Janetzki, the LNP member for Toowoomba South and my successor in that role, has done a sterling job in his first term and was rightly returned at this recent election. A professional and a family man, David will go a long way, and he very much represents the future of our party.

And my good friend Trevor Watts, the LNP member for Toowoomba North, had a stunning victory in what was a very tough campaign. Trevor remains one of the hardest-working MPs that I know right throughout the country. He's a real street fighter for the people on his patch in Toowoomba North, in Highfields and other suburbs that he represents in the Queensland parliament.

I look forward to continuing to work with Pat, David and Trevor. I sincerely congratulate these fine gentlemen, and I thank them for their ongoing service to our community.
