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

Hello there
⚠️UPDATED HEALTH ADVICE⚠️ Testing criteria for coronavirus (COVID-19) will be increased in Cairns, Gold Coast and Brisbane as a precaution following the detection of cases with unknown sources of infection. The increased testing has been ordered to head off the risk of sustained community transmission.
If people in these cities present at GP clinics or fever clinics with acute respiratory symptoms—cough, sore throat, shortness of breath—and the cause cannot be determined, they will be tested for COVID-19.
For the rest of Queensland, testing for the time being will continue to be people who have symptoms and have returned from overseas in the past 14 days (including from cruise ships) or those who have been in contact with a confirmed case, or are health care workers.
For more information on testing criteria, visit: www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/take-action/testing-and-fever...

The majority of cases are from patients who have travelled overseas, or have had direct contact with a confirmed case who had travelled overseas.
The number of confirmed cases we see each day is expected to vary as we continue to respond to the COVID-19 situation across the state.
We want everyone to know they can play their part to protect themselves and the more vulnerable in our community. Please follow the recommended advice from us and our federal counterparts in regards to social distancing, public gatherings and general wellbeing.
Critically, make sure you are practicing good hygiene and staying home if you’re sick. Washing your hands properly and often is the gold standard of health advice that can help prevent viruses from entering your body.
Queensland Health is urging anyone who has been overseas in the last 14 days and has a fever or any respiratory symptoms to see a doctor immediately. Please call ahead to the GP surgery and let them know your symptoms and travel history, this will help them prepare for your arrival.

Bet the tests contain the virus. Wake up, the alarm has been goig off for ages now.
I don't get this, Colin. 56,000 people tested and only 1.5% tested positive. Some facts: Of the 28 deaths we've had so far in Australia, three were in Queensland with ages of 68, 75 and 85. The national average age of people of the 28 people who have died so far >77 years old. The youngest person to die in Australia was 'in their 60’s’, meaning they could be 69. Of the 24 dead there has been three common clusters; 3 (11%) died in Melbourne's Alfred Hospital cancer ward, 5 (18%) died at NSW Dorothy Henderson Aged Care facility and 12 (43%) died after travelling on cruise ships (the ruby princess alone had 7). So 71% of all deaths come from just three areas and yet we've closed down the entire country. It is clearly evident from the data that the elderly (>70) are most at risk and those with pre-existing health conditions. This does not warrant shutting downtime entire country.
The Qld Labor Government are putting as many obstacles as they can in front of our farmers to appease the Fake Greens.
The population of Qld and Australia depend on our farmers to feed them.
Further firearms anger as categories left out of exemption

Farming and shooting lobby groups are hopeful that the debacle over industry access to firearms and ammunition, still simmering since it was discovered that various categories had been omitted from government alterations, will soon be resolved.FARK COMMUNISM.
You must try and see it from her point of view. She has forced the state to vote during a pandemic. She has burdened the state with massive debt. She has not sent Trad to the back bench. You know the rest. If I was her, for my own safety, I would ban guns too.
What an absolute joke this current regime of governance in the state of Qld & state departments are! Manipulated by Parliamentary directives!!! Fair Dinkum! There is genuinely more to Qld other than the SEQ hovel & ivory tower that they believe is their kingdom... Those that want to cast stones, shouldn't live in Glass Houses! As I have openly said before, "we don't need 3 tiers of Governance!" Abolish the State government! Bring on October...
They wanted to give their paper pushers a 2 percent pay rise to make sure that they had their votes, the ladies know they smell & on the way out,
This government is completely out of control,and they dont have any idea how to stop, they dont have much time left so there putting things in the wsy of the next government so they can make a noise in opposition
