Gladstone Hospital Petition

Representing Flynn in the Federal Parliament

The electorate of Flynn is over 132,000 square kilometres and is almost twice the size of Tasmania.

It stretches from the Central Highlands to the West, Gracemere to the North, Gladstone to the East and Wondai to the South while taking in the towns in between.

I drive over 50,000 kilometres a year staying in touch with our local communities and spend around 20 weeks in Canberra representing you in Parliament.

My electorate offices are open in the following locations to service the large Flynn electorate:

  • 76 Goondoon Street, Gladstone QLD 4680
  • 2/115 Egerton Street, Emerald QLD 4720
  • 39 Capper Street, Gayndah QLD 4625

 

I’m committed to taking Flynn forward.

Because of Labor's economic mismanagement, Australia has fallen behind the rest of the world.

The interest rate cut is welcome but it’s well overdue.

We need Peter Dutton and the Coalition to get Australia back on track.

Before entering politics, I was a qualified boilermaker as well as a high-pressure pipe welder working on the QGC gas pipeline to Curtis Island near Gladstone.

I went to Roma Tafe College where I received my qualifications through recognised prior learning.

Sadly, since my time, it has become harder and harder for apprentices and trainees to come through the system and into the workforce.

HARDER & MORE EXPENSIVE TO SEE A DOCTOR IN FLYNN 👩‍⚕️ 💵

Under the Albanese Labor Government, GP bulk billing is going backwards as healthcare costs are going up right across Flynn.

According to findings of the 2025 Cleanbill Blue Report, the rate of clinics that will bulk bill new adult patients without a concession card in Flynn has decreased by 3.7% in the past year alone to 19.4%.

At the same time, patients in Flynn who cannot get access to bulk billing will have to fork out on average $88.39 to see a GP in 2025.

This adds further stress to household budgets in the middle of the cost-of-living crisis, forcing people to make the difficult choice between going to see a doctor or paying the bills.

The Coalition is focused on ensuring that all Australians living in Flynn have timely and affordable access to healthcare.

The big banks have announced that they will not close any rural and regional branches until at least 31 July 2027. While this is a step in the right direction, I'm calling on ALL of the big banks to make the commitment that there will be no regional bank branch closures indefinitely.

Bank branch closures have occurred all over the Flynn electorate in communities such as Gladstone, Tannum Sands, Moura, Biloela, Theodore, Emerald, Springsure, Capella, Mundubbera, Biggenden, Gin Gin, Gayndah, Gracemere, Taroom, Wondai, Monto and Mount Morgan to name a few.

It’s time for the big banks to put their money where their mouth is and stop treating our regional communities like second class citizens.

The beer and spirit tax is a pain in the glass!

I'm currently bear-babysitting the Bundaberg Bear for the former Member for Hinkler, Keith Pitt. Did you know 63% of the cost of your bottle of Bundy Rum is tax?

I reckon that's 100% un-Australian.

Don't grin and bear the tax on Bundy, I’m calling on the Labor Government to give a fair go for Bundy rum lovers and beer and spirit drinkers across Central Queensland and put a stop to unnecessary price increases.
