The impacts of skyrocketing power prices on local households and businesses have been front and centre today as I hosted Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy Ted O'Brien MP - Federal Member for Fairfax in Gladstone.
Gladstone is the second region Ted has visited as part of a wider ‘listening tour’ in key locations across the National Energy Market (NEM) on the East Coast of Australia.
I've enjoyed showing the Shadow Minister around the region and introducing him to a wide range of stakeholders including industry leaders and small business owners.
During the trip, we visited several local businesses as well as organised a stakeholder engagement roundtable to hear what concerns and opportunities lie ahead for Central Queensland.
We also spoke to representatives from companies set to be affected by the Labor Government’s proposed safeguard mechanism. ... See MoreSee Less

I've called on the Labor Government to explain what their legislated emissions target will mean for industries in Central Queensland.
This is following Rio Tinto Australian chief executive Kellie Parker sounding a clear warning to the nation.
Ms Parker recently spoke at the Melbourne Mining Club expressing that renewable energy must be globally competitive with reliable supply.
Currently Boyne Smelters Limited, Yarwun Alumina Refinery and Queensland Alumina Limited rely on coal fired power for their energy.
Australian manufacturing requires affordable, 24/7 base load power to compete with the rest of the world.
Rio Tinto have agreed with Labor legislating emission targets by 2030. However, they will not guarantee keeping aluminium smelters open in Australia if power prices get too high.
What does the Labor Government’s 43 per cent emissions target mean for us in Central Queensland? How is this going to affect us? How is this going to affect the manufacturing industries? What does it mean for our jobs?
This is what I want answered. ... See MoreSee Less
