LNP State Convention

On the weekend we were delighted that as local branches and local members we were able to move and debate motions that are important to the region.

While resolutions are not binding, they give a critical insight into local issues and potential projects.

As a local member, I have been fighting for many of these projects and will continue to do so.

Long-term advocate and president of the Burnett Heads Progress Association Chris McLoughlin has consistently called for a high school at Bargara and I was delighted to support the motion and to see it supported by the grassroots members.

Other significant items discussed included the need for a new hospital in the region, trial of electricity tariffs for irrigators, strengthened veterans policies and other items which will all improve the outcomes of the region.
