@qldhealth’s Gladstone Nurse Led Clinic is having 40% of its hours cut & won’t be 7 days due to cuts by @DavidCrisafulli & his @LNPQLD Government ✂️✂️
He refused to answer in any way a specific question in Parliament just now from Gladstone’s @GlennButcherMP
Didn’t even try

BREAKING: We will set up a publicly owned energy retailer to drive down prices.
At High Amp Maintenance in Mackay, checking out this laser cutter purchased with a Miles Government grant.
Labor supports businesses, while dodgy Crisafulli is hiding the truth about his business which was trading when it was insolvent. Today I called on Crisafulli to come clean.
Only Labor will deliver water security for regional Queenslanders
Local producers finally have access to the thousands of megalitres of water flowing from Rookwood Weir. The surge will improve agricultural productivity, allowing some growers to employ hundreds of extra staff members. 7NEWS.com.au @NadiaLord_ #7NEWS

The Miles Government has partnered with the Albanese Government and Longreach Regional Council to a deliver $18.6 million water security package. When Councils need us we always deliver - unlike the LNP who cut funding from Councils claiming they’re ‘sitting on a goldmine’.

These overseas built trains weren’t disability compliant.
We’ve given them a big upgrade to make them accessible, and they’re all back in service just in time for 50 cent fares.
We’re building the next generation of trains right here in Queensland so they’re fit for purpose.

These 85 empty cabins in Gladstone used to be visitor accommodation.
We’ve just bought them – to turn into social and affordable homes for local families.

Water security and jobs for Gladstone.
We’re doing what matters for Queensland.
Berg Engineering in Gladstone were able to expand and become internationally competitive thanks to funding from our Manufacturing Hubs Grant Program.
Thanks to our investment in the Budget, more manufacturers like Berg can take their business to the next level.
The Queensland government has awarded nearly $140,000 to Berg Engineering in Gladstone. The Manufacturing Hubs Grant aims to help local businesses become more productive and upgrade their technology. 7NEWS.com.au @CPenny_6 #7NEWS
Our Government has banned all carbon capture and storage in the Great Artesian Basin.
The GAB is the lifeblood of outback Queensland and that is why the Miles Government is acting to protect it.
We’re protecting this precious water source for good.

Central Queensland councils including Gladstone, Rockhampton and Livingstone Shire have replaced SES vehicles and equipment and upgraded facilities. 7NEWS.com.au @CPenny_6 #7NEWS
DESI have finished their assessment of the EIS and concluded the CTSCo project is not suitable to proceed due to potential groundwater impacts in the Great Artesian Basin.
I’ve always said if projects don’t stack up environmentally or economically then I wouldn’t support them.
We’re taking $1,000 off every Queensland household’s energy bill.
This means the average household won’t pay a cent on their next quarterly energy bill after 1 July.
Cost of living relief for Queenslanders is our number one priority.
