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

A fine example of how future workplaces will look with "green" technology! It's a short little video, turn your sound on.
Yep. Complete waste of time.
straight out of planet of the humans 🤣🤣🤣it's a joke .
And what is charging the digger , a diesel fueled generator I would presume. Dick heads .
Typical council work site ,the only thing working is the generator 😂 😂
Sent home after 2 hrs, smh.
Unfortunately "Common Sense" is included in a University Education !!!
Not!!!!
Its all a farce
We have too many stupid people in our government, 2 hours work then charge for 8hrs again, so efficient and effective, Why dont you put a wind farm there, takes you a few years to charge to work for 2hrs, sounds like a government incentive, hahahahahaha
What's electric power run from ?
Unbelievable Colin

And a diesel engine would be charging it for let's say 6 hrs.yes very stupid.you get a full day out of a hybrid.
Green stupidity at it's very best.
www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-21/barnaby-joyce-wins-nationals-leadership-challenge/100230060 Removing the wet limp lettuce at federal level is great. Now the @LNPQLD need to do the same at state level. Regional and rural Australia want no part of net-zero politics. Mining, Oil, Gas and Agriculture are the backbone of Australia, not renewables.
Seriously? 8 hrs charging time for 2 hrs of operation? It's not April 1st i s it?
A great crowd turned out for “That Dam Run”, at Callide Dam this morning. Congratulations to the organisers, volunteers and participants.
It’s great to see the Callide Power Station partly up and running, clean steam on the horizon.
Callide Dam is getting lower by the day. The district is hoping for drought breaking rains early in the spring.
Thanks for making mention of the steam! Tired of media always showing cooling towers when having a ‘green’ report!
Such a special day. Just need rain now and it will all be wonderful.
The Biloela community farewelled Senior Seargent Nick Paton last night.
I would like to congratulate Nick for his long service to the police department. He will be sorely missed by the people of Biloela.
Congratulations for such long service
Its good to seeing a community giving a Police Officer appreciation.
Best wishes for your retirement Nick.
Thank you for your service
Not too many new announcements in the 21/22 budget for Callide.
In my Budget in Reply Speech, I took the opportunity to highlight the need to replace the Callide C4 coal-fired power generator with the latest ultra-supercritical, high-efficiency low emission coal-fired technology.
Australia exports $70 billion of the best coal in the world to countries including Japan - who are building 22 new coal-fired power plants - so that they can continue to provide cheap, reliable electricity to their businesses, industries and people.
Why do we deny Australians the same opportunity? Why are the Labor party focusing on hydrogen, when their own studies show that it is economically unviable?
fb.watch/6bIeWr0JSg/ please watch this and view the 40 or so crowd made up of supporters brought in from Rocky, Gladdy, Monto, Moura and Kalpower (as admitted in video) - so how many real Bilo supporters? 5 perhaps at best including the social worker. What does this video tell us about the Leftie/Greenie instigated and orchestrated community support BS?? It is just that total BullShit.
keep trying mate - real people are on your side
gee you guys will inherit a massive debt
Good one,, keep trying
Labor NEVER does anything that's right as I see it
Keep up the good work you are doing.
You are good at trying, but the GREENS keep pushing their Negative agenda, to make us Hungry and Cold in Victoria, FACT
Good one 🐸👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Colin: Your Budget in Reply Speech was way better than that of the LNPQ leader.
because our politicians are wankers and don't give a flying shit about its country but looking after the dickheads that fill there back pockets
I think it’s about time we have attendance records and deduct remuneration accordingly to stop these bludgers who only make appearances when they want to party vote !
All LNP. Will do is bow down to china and sell Australia to them.. the Labor government that controls state's are already getting pats on the back from china as those premiers are trying to under mine the federal government.. China wants control of everything.. wake up.. the shit they do and get away with kills ordinary peoples incomes.. if anything the government should stop exporting iron ore .. otherwise put the price up to off set loses from china tariffs.
That should be the go try to use energy efficient generators to make the most of all mined coals for Australians,but i am wondering why the electricity is a lot more expensive here in our region where 3 power plant is around than in the city?
Labor has no answers, its always the same 'pie in the sky', rubbish, that goes pear shaped when the mongrels get into power, do this country a bloody favour and always place Labor last on your ballot paper!
I think that is the most attention you have ever had in Parliament. The members are never in attendance when you have the chance to speak. Well done Colin on giving them something to talk about.
Excellent question, Colin Boyce. There are many who want an answer to this. Woke culture is destroying our country.
We are paying three times the price for electricity than regional neighbours? Bring back coal and use Hele thermal.
Secure and reliable electricity supply in Australia is under threat from the 50% renewable energy target.
Aging coal fired power stations will make the situation worse.
they should have thought about this years ago ... I have transitioned to a Tesla battery to store my excess energy ... and only pull from the grid when necessary ...
esdnews.com.au/dr-sean-brady-to-lead-independent-investigation-into-callide-incident/ So WTF is Dr Sean Brady? His LinkedIn profile discloses that he holds a BA in Maths, and BAI in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering - both from Trinity College Dublin, and a PhD from University College Dublin. Brady is the Author of the Brady Review, an investigation into the causes of fatalities in the Qld mining and quarrying industries (but appears to know SFA about Qld mining and quarrying). Now CEO of Brady Heywood, a consultancy firm specialising in investigating the cause of defects and failures in construction and engineering disputes. A hired gun. Wonder if his brief will be to find that @QLDLabor did everything it could to maintain the C4 unit at Callide, and its explosion was an unforeseeable 'accident'?
This is all going to end up with the country in a complete mess. As more power stations reach the end of their lives. Nothing is being planned for base load power supply. We will certainly be carbon neutral when we have rolling black outs.
Annastasia Palaszczuk and Cameron Dick promised Queenslanders a $2 billion ‘Hospitals Investment Fund’…but when you take a closer look at the budget…there is NOTHING!
Where is the money in this budget to pay for the billions of dollars of promises?
What did you expect from a mob that did no budget last year?
The answer is blowing in the wind!!
So much promise, such a foreseeable disappointment. Maybe too many beds are occupied by full term abortions?
I am not surprised Colin. As always they are full of hot air and the sheepies fall for it time after time.
Promise means nothing. You all promise and you all Lie.
They never ever intended to build a new hospital in Bundaberg. Just wasted millions of a feasibility study to get every ones vote at the last election. Noting but more filthy lies from Plazachook and her corrupt cronies.
Mark Bailey Map has been rebuking people on Michael Hart MP page today. Seems he has plenty of time to play on Facebook.
Dedicated to the light rail me thinks. 🤷♀️
That's great news!. The best thing that could happen would be to cut health funding to zero. Then people would have to take responsibility for their own health instead of expecting health care to insulate them from the result of their own poor choices.
You would have to be an idiot to look though this budget and not see the flaws.
Typical Labor lies. Just straight bullshit.
Mabey thats why she is with Aly King all over face book sprooking about the Bribie hospital at the present time ..you can find it on the bribie isl &suroundin areas web site .....total load of trollop the way i read it
Unbelievable where did that money get wasted
Piss and prawns for palachook and mates
Show me your actions and we will not been fooled by your words ...
We were in the red Before covid She shut the borders No tourism no cash input as we qlders were shut in our homes as well. Pray tell where the frig did this money appear from If it's from the garden , please give me the name of puddleducks fertilizer company I want my lemon tree to be as productive. It's a bit like Samantha Wiggle the nose and money appears Bye bye debt Bull shit
But they will find 30 Billion for the Olympics.
Had to pay for tokyo trip somehow
I am still struggling with the concept of a surplus while Qld total debt will be around $130 billion. Where is the plan to pay this down or will it be left up to the incoming LNP State Government.
Why worry about hospitals, they prefer to pay $8 million for a footy game to make $3 million. Labor don’t know anything about handling money
I wouldn't expect more from Cameron Dick !!!!!!! Best in a very safe Seat , after all !!!!
Labor lies and lies and lies.
typical Labor
