Thank you for your support at last week's election
It is a great honour to be re-elected as the LNP Member for Callide. I have always been and always will be committed to serving the needs of country towns and country people. The extent to which Queenslanders have placed their trust and confidence in the Liberal National Party is gratifying and humbling. You have my pledge that this trust will not be misplaced.

Crime worse under long-term Labor
Bligh Labor's massaging of crime rates are little comfort to the victims of violent and armed attacks and robberies across Queensland. LNP Shadow Minister for Police John-Paul Langbroek said the facts on serious crime spoke for themselves and Labor's spin could not deny the following: Read more...
