Queensland has an opportunity for change on 26 October. Queenslanders deserve a government with long-term vision. They deserve a government that won't keep going down the path of more crime; poor health services; failing power grids; increased red, green and black tape; poor education outcomes and arrogant politicians.

As national Leader of One Nation, I know that, if Queenslanders put their faith in the 93 candidates we have running in this upcoming election, there will be a long-term plan for my home state's focus on Far North Queensland, Central and western Queensland, as much as on the south-east corner. Queensland has been lacking strong, visionary leadership for many years, but I believe we have real leadership waiting in the wings come 26 October.

James Ashby has worked at my side for almost 10 years. His ability to work with community and business leaders, voters and politicians across the country is admirable. James has been instrumental in One Nation delivering so much for Queensland. I have great faith in the leadership qualities of James, who is fighting to win the Queensland set of Keppel. Queensland must get rid of Labor, after many long, frustrating years of economic mismanagement, poor governance and the cost-of-living crisis. But the LNP's support for so many of Labor's policies disturbs me; it makes it unlikely we'll see anything different on the most important issues.

With the One Nation team led by James Ashby at this election, Queenslanders have a genuine alternative to the major parties. With the One Nation team led by James Ashby in Queensland's parliament, the people of our great state will get the vision and leadership they deserve. Go, James!
