James Cook University is the guaranteed loser in their appeal against the Federal Circuit Court’s decision that Dr Peter Ridd was unlawfully dismissed. Even if JCU were to win their case, currently before the Federal Court, they will have defended the promotion of junk science. Dr Ridd exposed the faulty reef science that underpins climate […]
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk remains committed to funneling cash out of regional Queensland and into the south-east corner with a bid for the 2032 Olympic Games. I sent a petition to the Labor government with more than 5,000 signatures calling on the Premier to cancel the 2032 Olympics bid and focus on more important priorities for […]
Backing farmers instead of bashing them would provide a far greater benefit to the Great Barrier Reef and local jobs. I have written to both the Prime Minister and the Queensland Premier, asking for taxpayer funding to be pulled from the Reef 2050 Water Quality program. Millions of dollars have already been wasted on studies […]
The battle to end an ideologically-driven closure of gun shops in regional Queensland may be about to claim victory, judging by the last-minute “conversion” of Labor’s Maryborough MP, Bruce Saunders. Mr Saunders, who has previously expressed his hatred of guns, has come out saying gun shops should be allowed to open. Such a conversion would usually […]
The Queensland Labor government’s attempt to buy airline jobs with taxpayer-funded debt is proof they missed their own brief. We don’t elect a government to take our money and buy jobs. Governments don’t create real jobs, and they certainly shouldn’t buy them. It’s the government’s job to create an environment that enables businesses to create […]
China’s “bully boy” trade tactics could backfire by making the “made in China” label toxic for average Aussies. China has retaliated to Australia’s pursuit of an independent inquiry into COVID-19 by threatening our beef industry (through their ambassador, Cheng Jingye) and then blocking imports from four major Australian abattoirs. China is emboldened by its superior […]
It’s time for all the freeloaders on the Reef 2050 gravy train to get off at the next station and let taxpayer dollars help taxpayers. As yet another $12.6 million was thrown at the reef last week, it is time State and Federal Governments and their hangers-on are held to account. We’ve had $2.7 billion […]
The Queensland Labor government has dramatically cut the lifeline it threw to small businesses only weeks ago, abandoning business owners and their employees in their time of need. I have called on the State government to urgently restore the QRIDA concessional loan facility that it closed early, leaving small business without the cash flow to […]
The Queensland Labor government’s botched “gun laws” did nothing for domestic violence but once again made farmers collateral damage of vote-buying in the south-east corner. This week, I created an e-petition to have all the restrictions lifted after a partial backflip three weeks ago. The e-petition can be signed here: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/petition-details?id=3327 Restrictions on ammunition sales […]
