I welcome the right decision at last week’s Sunshine Coast Council meeting where they voted to listen to community concerns and not proceed with tenders on the proposed Mooloolaba Seawall project until the new Council is in place in March. It is important the new Council can make a decision with all the facts and…
Valuing who we are as a nation, means embracing all our history and not erasing it. Acknowledging the good, the bad and the worthy and telling those stories. And being grateful for the countless thousands whose sacrifices in the ordinary and extraordinary struggles of the everyday, created one of the most successful and wealthy democratic…
“I’m pleased to hear light rail has been shelved but what a waste of money. Shame the State Government and Council didn’t listen to the Sunshine Coast people who kept saying they didn’t want light rail and all its impacts between Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland and Maroochydore, but they spent millions anyway. “However, the fight…
Last week was the final Parliamentary Sitting Week for the year with yet more chaos and crisis from a State Labor Government with major ramifications for the Sunshine Coast.

I am lucky enough to meet a lot of wonderful local people and it is a large part of my position that I enjoy immensely. Clint and his brother Kent deserve a shoutout. A couple of weeks ago I was invited to celebrate Clint’s first birthday for Mustard Seed Lighthouse of Hope. It was a…
What an irony. At a time of record road congestion, $1.6 Billion in funding for Rail to Maroochydore continues to be caught in the Federal Government’s infrastructure freeze and review. During State Parliament, I asked questions about what the State Government was doing to lobby their Federal colleagues to release these funds and to match…
