State MP for Maroochydore Fiona Simpson slammed the expenditure and secrecy, calling on the government to release the report and rule out highrise in the area. The land on…

Secrecy still abounds over State Labor Government plans for Mooloolaba Spit. Member for Maroochydore Fiona Simpson has questioned the State Transport Minister, asking him to rule out more high rise on the Spit and to outline the plans to redevelop the marine services at the end of Mooloolaba Spit. These are just two of the…

The Palaszczuk Labor Government has denied parents the ability to identify child…
Sunshine Coast youth have a harder time getting a job under State Labor with youth unemployment rates rising to 15% (up 3.5% in the last year), yet the State Labor Government has cruelly axed desperately needed employment programs for local residents. Annastasia Palaszczuk has stopped Sunshine Coast residents from accessing the Back to Work program,…
