I am pleased to have been re-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

Some commonsense at last.
We have to keep manufacturing in Australia.
The technology is not there yet to produce green steel.
While China is using coal, Australia should be using coal.
China produces 27% of the worlds emissions, Australia produces 1%.
We must follow technology, not taxes.
Green steel no closer as NSW backs workers
www.newcastleherald.com.au
Green steel is on the backburner as a coal mine extension could lock in decades of supply to Australia's biggest steel maker. The $1 billion Dendrobium coal m...Totally agree!!!We should be building new steel mills and export sleel products not the raw materials. Our steel mills should never have been closed down, they were only closed down in the name of corporate profits.
absolute disgrace that we closed our steel mills. but like a dairy farmer buying milk sounds ludicrous
So Albanoisy is gonna reduce that 1% by 43% and I wonder how much money he is gonna throw at that volcano in Indonesia that shows us what real climate change el la natural is and how this world was built.
Thanks for speaking common sense
Australia just over 1 per cent of global emissions. , China is now responsible for more than 27% of total global emissions , the US accounts for 11% , India 7.09%
I totally agree with you. But while we have the half-wits in the House of Laughs in Canberra running things, I wouldn't be holding my breath! I thought at the last federal election, going by their policy announcements, that I could trust Morrison and the LNP not to follow the bats*it crazy path to ruin which is Net Zero! But 'Hey Presto!' As soon as Morrison jets off to a few talkfests featuring the elitist Globalist loonie tune Leftist Green brigade, out the window goes any common sense, and now he's GUNG HO for every Net Zero load of codswallop that was being spruiked by Shorten pre-election!! How about them apples?? I can never trust either of the major parties ever again! They're both in bed with the 'Watermelon' Greens! As a LNP MP, you should be hanging your head in shame at the duplicity and betrayal of your Federal party!
Tell that to some of these idiots in Canberra who are representing the electorates around the country It is a simple as a Nose on your face
Awesome news
Lets make our own good quality steel instead of the crap we import!
Too much coral is not enough – but it’s not good either
Too much coral is not enough – but it’s not good either
www.theaustralian.com.au
The Australian Institute of Marine Science recently released its annual survey of coral on the Great Barrier Reef. It shows spectacularly good results. For all three major regions of the reef, once data uncertainties are considered, there has never been more coral since records began in the mid-1980...News of its demise were grossly exaggerated,,,,,
Stopped watching the ABC years ago apart from landline. Always have a lefty bias . No balanced reporting and always pandering to the 3 percenters.
When will we learn that most of the information from these so called experts is their personal belief, nor researched fact . The last so called expert climate professor turned out to be a professor of foreign languages who didn't even speak English.
Abc biased( poison)
Guys Scientists never make ‘off the cuff remarks’ they use the process of analysis and observation to form a unbiased conclusion. Sometimes this unbiased conclusion may suit the parties concerned,other times sadly it may not! Like any Scientist, l wish for my children,and my grandchildren to be able to enjoy one of the most amazing natural wonders of the earth! I don’t want it to fall into a state of decay through elevated world temperatures.

Alarmists are always going to try to scare everyone into going along with their nonsense.
Remember, this entire nonsense is based on the belief that human emissions of carbon dioxide are causing harm. The population do not realise that total human emissions of carbon dioxide,, are one molecule in every 50,000 Let’s see that on the news. By the way,, Australia’s share is a minuscule ,,one carbon dioxide molecule in every 5 million molecules of air. Ask people,,,,not one in a thousand is aware of this.
Follow the money 💰
This bypass will be a great improvement to the Bruce Highway and road safety.Construction has now started on the last of the three new interchanges as part of the $1 billion Gympie Bypass.
The new Curra interchange will connect the fourth and final stage of the 62-kilometre Bruce Highway – Cooroy to Curra upgrade to the existing Bruce Highway north of Gympie.
It’s an exciting milestone in this critically important project, which is already creating 576 direct jobs during construction.
Once complete, the new stretch of highway will unlock Wide Bay’s economic potential – and most importantly, it will save lives on our roads.
A major detour will be in place from the existing Bruce Highway over to the Old Bruce Highway between Woondum and Traveston while these works take place, and delays are possible so I ask all road users to please be patient and courteous to road crews and other drivers.

Should have been completed 20 years ago
Waste of money if we have 100mm of rain and the mine worker in Queensland couldn't get to work to make the money you want to waste saving 10 minutes on your drive
About time Someone took a look at the Old Road Markings ,now being revealed along some of the Roadworks Deviations. Previously Blacked out with a thin coat of Bitumen, they're now quite visible & highly Dangerous !!!! A wonder there hasn't been a Head-On Colission on these Sections. It's just not good enough !!!!
will there be a toll on this bypass, just like on the toowoomba bypass ??

In my roll as a member of the Transport and Resources Committee, I spoke in Parliament yesterday regarding the Inquiry into Vehicle Safety, Standards and Technology, including Engine Immobiliser Technology. My specific focus was engine immobiliser technology which is being considered as an option to reduce or prevent vehicles being used illegally or dangerously.

As a former apprentice and tradie, I know once you have a trade behind you it can take you anywhere.
New figures show in July 2021 there were 217,400 Australians in-training trade apprenticeships – the highest number since records began in 1963 - thanks in part to the Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements wage subsidy.
In contrast, under Labor, incentives to employee apprentices were cut nine times between 2011 and 2013, totalling $1.2 billion.
An additional $716 million has been committed to the Completing Apprenticeship Commencements program to extend support into the second and third year of an eligible Australian apprenticeship.
From October 2021, eligible employers will receive a 10 per cent wage subsidy in the second year of an eligible apprenticeship, and five per cent in the third year.

Thank you for stewarding Australia through the COVID pandemic, and for your 20 years of service to Australia, Greg Hunt MP.

One of our most honourable . Need more like Him , to step up.
