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

If the people in the cities want fresh food from Australia, they have to get behind the LNP and the building of dams. The Qld Labor Government won’t build dams.
Queensland needs more dams not less!
The Queensland State Government’s sudden decision to reduce the Paradise Dam’s capacity to 42% has stunned producers and regional communities. With absolutely no consultation with those most affected, the water

While the recent rain has been most welcome, unfortunately severe flooding has caused catastrophic damage to roads, cultivation and private properties in the Bell and Jandowae area.
I visited some of the hardest hit areas on my way down to parliament this week.
Amazing how much evidence there is for climate change ... in front of peoples eyes ... and they still cant see it.
Bloody hard to catch a break..
Geeze. That’s a shocker. Hard yards the farming job.
Queensland Labor are an extension of the Queensland Greens. They don’t represent the workers anymore.
Please start giving the positive LNP policies. You need to be telling the voting public what you are going to change for the betterment of the state. If Deb Frecklington can’t do it get someone who can.
If they just had a viable alternative power supply people might get onboard. But they don't so bring on the coal fired plants!
Labour slow learners have they forgotten shortens dafeat on coal
Do not phukking do it. Try to actually listen - LISTEN- to your electorate in the short time you have left! .. By the way, do you still support “Dodgy Trad”?
Join the union they will help
Yes very true. But I get feeling that the LNP are an extension of the Turnbull Lefty Liberals these days. Your leader Deb Frecklington is Labor lite and I really can't see any point voting LNP while she is at the helm.
Will all change come October
Premier... BLOODY WAKE UP..
She won't be around long enough just just fuck off now would be good
Green labor
We need cheaper power , no competition in Nth Qld , even Melbourne has blackouts all the time, sold off power plant down east Gippsland Hazelwood to France 🙈🤷♂️
How about every time we criticise a Labor comment, we actually turn it in to a positive. e.g. No Anna what we are doing is supporting free enterprise to bring cheap electricity to Queensland which will promote growth in jobs by encouraging industry as well as reducing power costs for the average household. There doesn't that sound a bit better than saying that Labor are a bunch of A..holes. this has been copied from a comment I made on the LNP site but I think it is very relevant everywhere and we need to get out of this negative zone which is costing the LNP greatly; As well as the fact that we are viewed in the North and West as being city centric.
Maybe we should focus on trying to create sustainable energy? There's thousands of jobs waiting to happen there.
A good lesson to learn what a greens party can do when in government. You can never trust the Greens and Labor.
The Greens mouthpiece at work again, plus its north of the Sunshine Coast.
Tens of thousands of jobs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 where are the 10,000 jobs for Adani? Has anyone told you Queensland is 1/4 renewable and has a glut on electricity? How about you stop lying and put your efforts into upgrading the NSW/Qld transmission network as Queensland is missing out on revenue
Does she know where Collinsville and that it is in Queensland.
They block the station at their own risk, seems they have a death wish for the next election, labour has not learnt from the last federal election
Coal Mining is a dead industry. As someone who has grown up through the mining boom I can tell you it's over. Time for a change dropkicks.
I think people need a job more than queensland needs labor
Haven't represented the work for a long time. Any politician represents one thing the money they can make while in the job and to get all the perks after they leave.
Time to step down Premier. You have lost the plot.
She must be voted out in the coming election but sadly she probably won’t
We don't need another coal power plant. Completely useless at this point.
Are we all to be supplied with generators

I have noticed that Facebook has been removing a meme on the number of coal plants being built. While using outdated data, its central point was right. There are lots of coal plants being built around the world. Many will use Australian coal but apparently we can't even build one here. Spread the correct figures far and wide by hitting share below!
If Australia doesn’t wake up soon we will be forced to accept a very different lifestyle to the one we currently have! We are going to be way behind other nations in our ability to remain competitive. We’ve already lost our competitive edge that was cheap power prices, things can only get worse! If not coal then consider nuclear it’s zero emissions must make it a viable option for all those climate zealots!
Gives a little perspective doesn't it! Maybe some of those glued down, "what toilet do I pee in?" environmental protesters can temporarily relocate to another country where their protests are more relevant! I'm sure they'd be welcome!
We can’t all have electric cars , because we ain’t got enough power for them all 🙈
I’m more worried about CHINA CHANGE , Then CLIMATE CHANGE 😳🙈
All new mine approvals should include provision of 10% of production to be given free to the government.
So we have .3% of global population and 1% of coal power plants. Time to transition to renewables. Yesterday.
Who said coal fired power stations are on the way out or becoming obsolete around the world ? Renewables can never replace coal. Coal still reigns supreme.
Why do we bow to the UN their not our boss
The science fiction is in. We are all doomed!! Lol
And the UK has a biomass which produces aprox.150% more Co2 than a coal fired power station .
Australia has 22
The top 3 aren’t on Greta’s list so don’t count (I read) It’s other people’s fault for selling them coal 🥴
They dont like the truth to be told
Green lunatics please read and absorb the information
And the fake news industry supports these idiots.
Gov and expect worship money
Man made climate change is a lie.. Co2 as pollutant is a lie. Tax will fix lies is a lie
So we should give up one coal fired plant as soon as the greens have a chat with China and they shut down 60 plants and India shuts down 15

Shoot to kill Greenies on site and save our Sanity
It’s great to see these old courier mail newspaper records and photos showing the 1974 floods in Brisbane and particularly the photo of newspaper article claiming 1893 floods were worse.
Climate has been changing forever.
Climate is defined as the TREND in weather averaged over a 30 year period. Weather is the day to day changes that can fluctuate wildly. It's probably best to not talk about things you don't understand in a public forum....
These are "weather" events. Climate is something else again and those making the same mistake about them all the time should educate themselves as to the difference.
This recent increase in temperature is 10 -100 times faster than at any time in the past 65million years... www.scientificamerican.com/article/todays-climate-change-proves-much-faster-than-changes-in-past-...
"I remember when" yeah ok boomer go back to riding your harley while drinking VB's and stop ruining our climate
Robyn Reibelt
the land of droughts, bush fires and flooding rains - I remember the 74 Brisbane Floods and Cyclone Tracey the same year. Everyone was shocked at both but nobody claimed the world was ending we just accepted that this is the great country of extremes that we all love.
Oh look another one not understanding things between weather and climate.
Just trying to scare everyone, weather has been changing since time immemorial, and it will go on changing.....
I remember learning in school that Wivenhoe Dam was meant to stop Brisbane from flooding again. 😂🤷
Current journalism practice is to claim all events are unprecedented. The only thing that is changing is the reporting technique.
There's climate. And there's weather events. A weather event is not climate change.
Colin - if you were better informed, you would know the difference between weather and climate.
Colin do you understand that the extent and frequency of the events is something that scientists understand and take into consideration when they state something is extreme or not?
Remember this well. Tanker MV Amanda Miller adrift in the river and if not restrained would have been worse.
Show lots more of this. With a bit of luck our young people may take note
To much scaremongering today. It is just the weather. It's always changing.
What if climate change is all a hoax and we accidentally save loads of natural wildlife and conserve their natural habitat, that would just be awful now wouldn't it?
Shh, don’t let the truth get in the way of climate hysteria.
Thanks Colin, your post is ‘unprecedented’, it would be ‘catastrophic’ if folks ignored it.
Keep writing your denialist nonsense. Some of your devoted flock will believe the head in the sand position.
That's fine y'all old ass boomers won't be alive in a couple of years anyway.
Climate change, right? 😂
Thanks
