On 26 October Queenslanders have a very important decision to make. Change is needed. Over the last 35 years, the Labor government have been in power for almost three decades. As a result we've got derelict MPs that do not do their duty. Labor MPs throughout Queensland have failed on public housing and homelessness. They've failed on infrastructure, roads and planning, and they've failed on health. They've failed, basically, on corruption where they're basically giving money to unions and ensuring that infrastructure programs are 30 per cent dearer than what they should be.

Well, Queenslanders have had enough. We need change. We need David Crisafulli and the Liberal National Party, who have the right priorities for Queensland: a plan to restore safety where you live; a plan to reinstate health services when you need them; a plan to return respect for your money; a plan to reimagine a place to call home; and a plan to redesign a government that works for you.

In my electorate we have exceptional candidates: Amanda Cooper in Aspley; Rob Barridge in Bancroft; Gary Fulton in Murrumba, who will take on the Premier and can beat him; Kerri-Anne Dooley in Redcliffe, who will be my state MP if given the opportunity and will be one of the best members Redcliffe has ever had; Chris Mangan in Sandgate; Fiona Hammond in Stafford; Dean Clements in Pine Rivers; Ariana Doolan in Pumicestone; and Sarah Ross in Morayfield. Show Labor the door in '24.
