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

What exactly is the Queensland Government’s plan to transition to renewable energy?
How do we stabilise the generation of power to the grid if we go down the road of closing traditional coal fired power generation?
I raised these and other points in my speech in Parliament yesterday in response to the Queensland Audit Office Report 11:2020-21 Energy 2020
They don't have a plan that they can put forward. Only meaningless buzzwords.
It's easy,we just move to blackouts
Dr Forrest is taking care of it for them ( who knows for how long ????) Can always make it up as they stumble along ..
It will be a disaster like Traversron dam The desal plant Health payrolls Etc etc.
She doesn't care it's all speed to the Olympics
Good work mate.
They have been sold fairytales..
Why aren't they getting the health system up to scratch to deal with the Covid fear campaign they're promoting? They've had two years but the system won't handle an outbreak according to the Premier and CHO. Maybe they should spend less time counting their $$$
Renewable won’t be able to cope with demand and are useless toxic products
What is the future of Australian coal miners and farms? Industrial hemp rehabilitation and plant to product manufacturing. Have a look at Mirreco hemp houses. Now is the time for something better and a better way of doing things. Industrial Hemp is a versatile textile and food source that can clean the ground of toxins and pollutants and then be used as a biofuel, a product stronger than steel, a conductor more conductive than graphene, houses, material, 3D filament. Effectively winding down the operations of existing Australian owned mines and funding australian owned farms expansion into regeneratively grown hemp will create jobs in the form of microfactories where the hemp is grown. A plant to product, needs based manufacturing model would create the exact amount of product required and shipped direct to the customer. This would reduce waste costs of warehousing storage and transport of our existing manufacturing and retail model. www.heraldbulletin.com/opinion/columns/on-nature-column-hemp-plant-fast-growing-and-versatile/art...
We need to be like the UK just put in a cable from an Asian country that generates with coal fired power stations as the UK does from the EU when their alternates don’t work with inclement weather !
Such an important debate and most seats are empty.
When the full effects of the Jab become apparent Australia's energy needs will not need coal. There will be a lot less people.
Supply and demand will control Australia’s coal industry, not virtue signalling finance and insurance companies.
Asia wants our coal to bring their population out of poverty and to manufacture the goods that we buy.
Good on them
Endless money around for real energy investments
*FREE SPEECH STILL MATTERS*
While I respect the decision of the High Court supporting Dr Peter Ridd's sacking from James Cook University, I am disappointed.
Just as scientists are free to claim farmers are destroying the Great Barrier Reef, so too should scientists be free to disagree and challenge them - even if some find that offensive.
I stand with Federal Education Minister Alan Tudge MP in saying university staff and students must be able to reasonably challenge, question and debate without fear of being expelled.
The Morrison Government has introduced the "French Model Code" affirming the importance of freedom of speech and academic freedom.
It's pleasing to see that 41 Australian universities now have policies aligned with that model and they will report against it annually.
The High Court found that JCU’s initial censure of Dr Ridd for criticising reef scientist colleagues was not justified.
However, because of his conduct in subsequent JCU processes, the High Court found that JCU had acted lawfully in dismissing him.
If Peter Rudd can be silenced as a voice of reason….how much information is being bandied around which is not based on truth or fact?
Sad times.
Very sad. This new freedom of speech law for scientific freedom should be made retrospective
Agree with you. Peter Ridd speaks the truth. I know the greenies will disagree
It was an excellent decision and those are appropriate comments 👌 I am also disappointed but I cannot find fault in the judgement itself 🤨
High court are just a protection for leftists......how can you trust their decisions are for the right reasons.
What freedom of speech if anyone speaks the truth they are shut down
I find it extremely sad that he lost the case due to "contractual obligations". He is a scientist and if he has to conform to the university's whims, then what hope has science got? Good science definitely won't be coming from universities if they continue down this road. Or is it that they won't get govt funding unless they conform to the govts narrative????
I would never trust an educational institution that tried to control theoretical discussion or testing. After all, for a theory to be acknowledged as correct it must be able to withstand any sound argument to the contrary.
Climate change is natural scientific evidence
Science and Universities have brought about the destruction of their reputations by their own manipulative and unethical practices! Very little science can now be believed! 😈
JCU hang your heads in shame
You bet it does I’m so disappointed that you didn’t win this Peter ,our education especially the universities are trying to lead the narrative not allowing anyone to express an alternative view .
Crap My opinion
Very sad about this decision of the high court. I used to thing of the law as a balanced institution. Appalling judgement. Maybe they all went to left wing universities.
WRONG
JCU the biggest loser , comes out looking & smelling like a male toilet in a 3rd world country
Censorship of those who are brave enough to stand up for their rights and take on agenda driven scientific research seem to no longer have any avenue of high legal support! Thank you Peter Ridd for having the guts to fight on! Don't give up your fight for thoroughly researched and opened ended science that avoids all encompassing statements!
I have a major announcement in Roma today that will save lives across the region:
With the help of over a million dollars in federal funding, LifeFlight is set to build a fully-functional aeromedical base at Roma Airport!
This is really good, and is $1m of federal funding being well spent on this incredibly worthy cause. Good work... I wish I could say the same about our foolish WDRC council's main street project in Miles which is wasting $6m to put in garden beds that will take away 60% of the current main street parking in Miles, while the locals who support the business houses will have to either circle like pigeons waiting for a park, or be forced to shop elsewhere.. That $6m could have been better spent on a project like this, or at least more parking, not less, and a proper place for choppers to land and refuel next to our hospital instead of the local football field.
Awesome‼️
The family have asked me to share the news of William's disappearance.
Please keep an eye out for William.
Thankyou Colin Boyce
Hope he is found soon
Australia’s top quality coal will be required by the world for decades.
China emits 1/3 of the world’s emissions and are back tracking on their emission reduction strategy already. They are cold and hungry.
China won’t be influenced by world banks and insurance companies.
Net zero is just a fallacy and we need to focus on a balance of energy types and coal still will have a big part to play in our economy and the world!
Double the price with 100% export tarrif
And despite us being the largest exporter we only produce about 8% of global coal.
While we go broke with debt in this green bs reset China and Russia are getting rich, the demand for oil and gas has never been higher, people in Europe are lucky not to suffer a freezing deadly winter thanks to Nord Stream 2 from Russia, all the useless wind farms and solar panels are useless. While we fall into trillions of debt and foreign globalists buy up our land, atleast foreign countries can enjoy the booming revenue from oil and gas where as we can enjoy massive debt and enslavement and poorer living conditions thanks to fake global warming. Think to yourself, if we were really going green why don't we have Australia produce hydrogen fuel cells for every home and create hydrogen plants around the country? solar panels and wind farms are useless just like the giant battery banks from tesla and friends. The green reset is fake.
Australia is not being smart nor are we looking after our people, a dangerous political position to take.
All made for China.

Coal has been an excellent provider of jobs a d resources for many years. Now is the time for something better and a better way of doing things.

Blind Freddy could see that coming. China wants to be world dominance in manufacturing doing this they will control the worlds economy
And they sure know how to deal with Protestors & Coral Reefs ..
Should not sell China any let them suffer they want to try and ruin Australian businesses bad luck for them
But Morrison wants to shut it down
Why won't Greta take on China? Go and lecture them.
If you are remotely serious you would be pushing this new technology. technology.nasa.gov/patent/TOP2-160
Got to feel sorry for the Chinese who will be freezing now, it's winter, Got to hope they can keep warm...and everyone else in Europe during this winter...for that matter, without coal many will freeze to death..stupid socialists...and their 'never think it through 'ideologies.......alternative power has no hope of keeping them warm, Always the people and their children who suffer........for totalitarian power moves....disgusting.
The developing countries simply cannot do without our quality and quantity of coal. Mine more coal for the prosperity of Australia
Keep digging
The Chinese are building a hundred power stations a year. They are eventually going to have to swallow their pride and buy our coal. Let's hope that they have to pay top dollar for it.
Yes Japan is a major player too never spoken about Colin Boyce MP - Member for Callide. When you run for Flynn I welcome you to come to the coal face at Blackwater for a yarn….
