It’s that time again. I got my flu shot today. Labor made it free because it saves lives - and it needs to stay that way. So please protect yourself and your families this year.

We fought for it and now you’ve got it. The LNP has finally bowed to pressure and employed a doctor at Kilcoy Hospital. This is a big win for the community who didn’t have a doctor at their emergency department 24/7.

Since David Crisafulli became Premier, ambulance ramping has increased month on month. It’s now at 40.5%. That’s after they promised that they’d drive down ramping wait times. And his solution is to gut Labor’s hospital expansion program.

BREAKING: David Crisafulli has backflipped on his Sunshine Coast heavy rail promise, replacing rail with buses. David Crisafulli promised he would deliver heavy rail to Maroochydore by 2032, “no ifs, no buts, no shortcuts”.

FACT: David Crisafulli promised there would be no new stadiums. David Crisafulli has been a long-time opponent of a new stadium. He promised he wouldn’t build one. But it seems that was just a lie.

David Crisafulli has ordered that work stop on the construction of our Redcliffe Hospital Expansion from next Friday. We put shovels in the ground last year to get this 204 bed expansion project online. But David Crisafulli’s stop work order has resulted in many workers being made redundant.

David Crisafulli is standing in the way of more affordable homes being built right now. This LNP Government needs to stop blocking housing projects and get on with the job of building.

Supporting Queensland women starts with investing in healthcare and support services. Emma and the team at Women’s Health and Equality Queensland offer counselling, therapy and health education for women across the state.

Our Bill to lock in 50 cent fares forever was thrown out of Parliament - but we won’t stop fighting to make them permanent here in Queensland.

Queenslanders deserve to know whether David Crisafulli will break his election commitment to not build a new stadium.

URGENT: David Crisafulli must step up and ensure evicted homeless people are provided crisis accommodation.

Getting our schools back on their feet is such an important first step for their communities. Some schools have really copped it - like Dakabin State School in my patch. But thanks to my dad, Principal Michael Drake and Rhiannyn Douglas, it’s now looking just a little neater.

Moreton Bay hasn’t been included in the disaster relief grants for Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. That is absolutely not good enough.

If you’ve been impacted by Ex-Tropical Cyclone please know that help is available.

Heavy rainfall is expected to continue today throughout SEQ. This may lead to moderate and even major dangerous flooding. Winds of up to 90km/h remain across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

As Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches it’s important that you are taking the time to get ready. We met with the Moreton Bay Local Disaster Management Committee this morning. The message is that many areas could be facing extended power outages, flooding and isolation.

The message is simple: get ready. We have a big few days ahead of us in the south east. But we’ll get through it. We always do. Stay safe, Queensland.

There is a possibility of Tropical Cyclone Alfred making landfall between Bundaberg and the Gold Coast this week. The Bureau of Meteorology has warned of major flooding, strong winds, and coastal erosion.

David Crisafulli must put people over politics and wait for the review of pill testing before making his decision.

Renee Coffey for Griffith is a fighter.   From reconciliation to family support to youth mental health, Renee will always push for what she believes is right.   Couldn’t be prouder to help launch her campaign for Griffith last night – see you out on the hustings.

The next stage of construction on our Coomera Hospital has been paused by David Crisafulli. Work began last year to get this 404 bed hospital delivered to relieve pressure on our health system. But this LNP Government has chosen to pause construction on hospitals across the state.

Relieved to hear the RBA have chosen to cut interest rates to 4.1% today. And I welcome the major banks’ decision to pass the cut onto borrowers.

Before the election David Crisafulli said he would deliver heavy rail to Maroochydore by 2032, no ifs, no buts, no shortcuts. But now this LNP Government has walked back their iron-clad election commitment.

David Crisafulli is going after vulnerable mums and their babies by cutting a peri-natal care unit in Townsville.

David Crisafulli has cut a peri-natal mental healthcare unit in Townsville that would look after vulnerable mums and bubs.

Kim and I simply couldn’t be any prouder of you Bridie. You’ll make an amazing school vice captain.

David Crisafulli must reverse his 114% increase on Brisbane Airtrain fares to support workers during this cost of living crisis.

North Queenslanders are strong, resilient and put up a good fight. They’ve seen and recovered from a lot in the past. These floods have been immense, arrived quickly and wreaked havoc on so many communities, including Ingham.

It’s times like these that the Queensland spirit is on full display. This is Adrian, from Bundock Fresh Food Hub who is donating fresh food packages to those affected in his community. Putting meals on the table for families who have lost so much. Thank you Adrian.

The temporary bridge to Ingham over the Ollera Creek has just been completed. Thank you to everyone involved with getting Ingham connected again. In times like these, Queenslanders rally together.

Just a few days ago, this area of Townsville was impacted by floodwaters. Locals were forced to leave their homes and evacuate to higher ground. Today Councillor Liam Mooney showed us around some of the suburbs most affected. North Queensland, we will be with you every step of the way.

The peak of the heavy rainfall in northern parts of the state has passed, but the risk of localised flooding remains. While forecast major flooding levels weren’t reached, some parts have seen over a metre of rain in a week. We know that Queenslanders rally together in times like these.

If you or your loved ones have been impacted by the floods in the northern parts of Queensland, please know that help is available:

Our emergency services and volunteers in the northern parts of the state are a real display of the Queensland spirit. Lending a hand to people at a time they need it most. You’re saving lives and Queensland can’t thank you enough.

I know Queenslanders have dealt with their fair share of natural disasters over the past few years. But it is important not to be complacent at this time. Northern parts of our state have been lashed by heavy rain and flooding. And there’s still a lot more rain forecast.

Great to be out supporting my good friend Ali France this arvo. She’s passionate, energetic and ready to take the fight to Peter Dutton.

David Crisafulli has walked back his iron-clad guarantee to deliver Sunshine Coast Heavy Rail to Maroochydore.

Steve Smith has become just the fourth Australian batsman to reach 10,000 test runs. An incredible performance by one of the greatest to ever do it.

Every Queensland kid deserves the best start to life. It’s something I’m passionate about. And this starts with a good education. I’m proud to have been part of a team that delivered 27 new schools for Queensland.

Caffeine stop at Cafe 63 Goodna with Mark and Deloris. They told me how Labor’s $1000 energy rebate really helped last year. But it’s almost used up. And they’re concerned about the cost of living continuing to rise in 2025.

The LNP has provided no cost of living relief for Queensland families in their first budget update.

David Crisafull has created the worst possible budget update to lay the groundwork for cuts. This political stunt risks Queensland's credit rating, and will increase borrowing costs.

We need to continue supporting young people like Elliott and Matthew. They’re both retail workers on the Gold Coast. They told me cost of living and housing are the two biggest issues they’re facing right now.

Keeping Queensland kids active and healthy is so important. That’s why David Crisafulli and the LNP should extend this program.

We're calling on David Crisafulli to extend the $200 kids sport vouchers to help families with the cost of living.
