I am pleased to have been elected to represent Callide in the Queensland State Parliament.
The Callide community is a great place to live, work and raise a family.
When we work together we can ensure job security and opportunity, access to health care, a strong education system and a safer community. To do so we need small and medium businesses to grow and create more jobs, and to build transport and other infrastructure that meets our needs.
I am interested to hear your views on these and other topics. I hold regular mobile offices in the towns in our electorate, in addition to my electorate office in Biloela.
I welcome your views and suggestions. I will work hard to assist you if you require my help on any matter affecting you or your family, in addition to promoting the interests of everyone in our electorate of Callide.
Colin Boyce MP

At Mount Perry show yesterday. A great little community has pulled together another successful show.
Congratulations to the show committee, volunteers and participants.
All swing an axe up there. Dingle family had their own Royal show wood chop team.
Water is just as important but you and the rest of the National Party haven’t made any attempt to address the huge problem they are a disgrace
Tell them Matt 🇦🇺
Keep fighting, I am on your side.
Onya mat keep up the good work. Matt for pm
Coal rules.
Well that's just not true.. One Nation also fights for coal all the time, but Matt refused to support ON when they put forward motions regarding coal.. The support of coal isn't all about you Matt..
Happy for mines in the right place not on prime ag land (currently happening) no risk to underground water (currently happening) and for Australia use 1st (not happening) companies to pay there fair share of tax (currently not happening) gets all of these right and u will have 99% of Australian support you.
A virtual signalling government wasting taxpayers money on expensive vehicles using uneconomical alternative energy sources.
There is a major reason the Hindenburg incinerated all those people and Helium was used for airships now our educated idiots want us to drive up the highways with a vehicle filled with hydrogen . I think we need to rethink the system of so called higher education in the world !
There is more important issues out there than bloody hydrogen cars.
How many Regional Birthing Suites will fit in these Vehicles!! Another Vote Buying exercise from this Incompetent Rabble!!

PARADISE DAM - I met with Industry Stakeholders at Paradise Dam earlier this week, and showed Fiona Simpson MP & Deb Frecklington MP the biggest infrastructure debacle of the current Queensland Government.
This region supplies 25% of Australia's fresh produce, with 8,000 jobs directly reliant on Paradise Dam.
Paradise Dam is currently at 22% and farmers are facing water allocation cuts that will potentially decimate their crops. Dead trees and job losses in all industries that rely upon this water supply to keep the region progressing.
I urge city people to take a drive out to Paradise Dam for the weekend to see this debacle for yourself, it’s easy to find.
This dam supplies the water that GROWS YOUR FOOD.
Dam wall has been reduced by 5.8m
Is that why the macadamia growers are buying up all the land around the rook wood weir the Qld Gov has sold most of the water rights to them. This palachook and Steven miles are nothing short of criminals
Manipulation to create illusion of water scarcity .
Don Traynham Steve Vargas FYI boys
Criminal..
The Paradise puddle is more like it
Sadly but the ALP hate Farmers and Country people, there actions on this Dam are a disgrace. 😡
ALP just a BIG disgrace full stop..........
I can see Bundaberg on water restrictions by mid year !! Then watch the town’s people hit there feet !! No rates reduction for early payment this time as well council is getting very fat !!
It is indeed sad that too many of the electorate believe governments act in the best interests of the community as a whole. Urban based political parties have no interest in doing anything that will not increase and secure their urban vote. Given the rural areas produce the great bulk of the primary wealth of the Nation (and State) our Nation is invariably screwed by the short term considerations of this self-interest driven, often intellectually impaired herd. That catastrophe hasn't happened overnight, but evolved and accelerated after the Whitlam government taught the political classes you can buy votes with handouts.
Call me ignorant if you want but why was the dam height reduced?
nothing to see here , just labor management at work
Fuc#%*ng disgusting !!!!!!🤬.
Been a Labour supporter all my life, this is the worst do nothing state government ever, she says she keeps Qld. safe, however the state is broke, it was broke before covid which of course they use as her excuse. However we can afford the Olympic Games. Where are all the election promises, where is the new infrastructure, dams, roads, public housing etc. try travelling up or down the coast from Brisbane and its a total car park an absolute disgrace, we have a massive youth criminal problem in this state, they can't be gaoled because of the weak court system, no room in gaol for them they say, build another gaol.
25% of Australia’s fresh produce? Where did that stat come from? We seem to get around that number when any fresh produce area is mentioned...
Dont expect the Queensland Labor government to help out they are only interested in Brisbane and the Gold Coast
Little PRINCESS won't do anything , GREENS won't let her Aren't U glad U voter her back in . 🤣😍🤣😍
Who was conned and re elected the useless state Labor government back in ?
I do not understand what is going on with Paradise Dam. It had repaires in the order of $20 million done to it after the 2012 floods. That needs a " Please explain? "
🤣
Garry O'Brien
The wind stopped me from hearing what you had to say!...
While I sympathise with the farmers not all the truth is being told. When was the wall supposedly lowered ???.. There is no way that wall has been lowered by 19 ft sorry. have photos to back up my statement . Photos taken 2012/2013 I would assume that whoever is in charge of the water has mismanaged it and let too much out of the dam.
My best wishes to retiring Snr Sgt Nick Paton of Biloela Police and thank you for your tireless contribution to Biloela and Districts in the past 14 years. You (and your wife) will be a big loss to the community and Qld Police Force... all the best in your well earned retirement.
Thank you for your service Sir
You have served well enjoy your retirement May God Bless u and your wife
They will certainly miss you in Biloela
Inspirational top big hearted cop onya mate
