Gladstone Hospital Petition

Representing Flynn in the Federal Parliament

The electorate of Flynn is over 132,000 square kilometres and is almost twice the size of Tasmania.

It stretches from the Central Highlands to the West, Gracemere to the North, Gladstone to the East and Wondai to the South while taking in the towns in between.

I drive over 50,000 kilometres a year staying in touch with our local communities and spend around 20 weeks in Canberra representing you in Parliament.

My electorate offices are open in the following locations to service the large Flynn electorate:

  • 76 Goondoon Street, Gladstone QLD 4680
  • 2/115 Egerton Street, Emerald QLD 4720
  • 39 Capper Street, Gayndah QLD 4625

 

I’m committed to taking Flynn forward.

Did you know Japan was Australia’s second-largest export market, valued at AUD65.1 billion in 2021, accounting for 12.5 per cent of total exports?

I enjoyed attending the 'Friends of Japan' event recently and catching up with the Japanese Ambassador to Australia Kazuhiro Suzuki.

Every March, people around the world come together to support Endometriosis Action Month. Action Month is an opportunity to raise awareness and call for change to assist the 1 in 10 women with endometriosis.

Team Flynn wore yellow or a pin today to show our support for all of the women who suffer from this condition.

I was proud to support the Monto Races on the weekend. The weather held out for the day with only a few scattered showers interrupting the Fashions on the Field. With 5 local races held, it was a great day out.

Youth crime is out of control in many parts of our country and more needs to be done to combat it.

This week, the Federal Coalition introduced the Crimes and Online Safety Legislation Amendment (Combatting Online Notoriety) Bill 2024 into Parliament that seeks to crack down on youth crime by making it illegal to post social media material that glamorises violence and criminal activity.

The legislation will:

•Introduce a new Commonwealth offence to deal with the increasing use of social media to promote or publicise criminal activity. In particular, the Bill will make it an offence to post material depicting violence, drug offences or property offences for the purpose of increasing a person’s notoriety (or that of the persons shown in the material), punishable by up to two years’ imprisonment.

•Include a sentencing measure in the Crimes Act to ensure that as part of the sentencing process, courts are able to prohibit persons who have been convicted of the new offence from using social media for up to two years.

•Amend the Online Safety Act to specifically empower the eSafety Commissioner to order the removal of such videos from social media and other digital platforms. The changes we are proposing would make it explicit that the Commissioner has a mandate to deal with complaints on this issue, in a similar way that the office responds to reports of cyber-bullying and cyber-abuse.
