The 'World Aids Day Parliamentary Breakfast' is always such a powerful opportunity to reflect on how far we have come in the HIV / AIDS response and the ongoing work to ensure no one is left behind. ❤️

I was thrilled to catch up with Melissa, CEO of Queensland Positive People - QPP who shared with me how a program funded under our previous Labor Government, 'BetterConnect+' is supporting older HIV+ Queenslanders to feel more connected and supported.

Thank you to all of the incredible organisations in Queensland and nationally for their advocacy, their leadership and their determination to see an end to HIV transmission by 2030.

We have the science, the stories and the partnerships - we just need the political will and the courage to finish this important work. ... See MoreSee Less

Here we go again!

The Crisafulli LNP Government has come into the Parliament Chamber this afternoon and declared four Bills as urgent.

This means they have shortened our opportunity as Members of Parliament to represent our communities and debate these laws - effectively gagging us!

We know it’s because they have a split in their Government around energy policy…oh, and they want an early mark on Thursday night for the Parliament Xmas drinks. 🤪 ... See MoreSee Less

Another day...another group of hardworking public servants having to protest for their wages and conditions.

Queensland's highly skilled radiation therapists and nuclear medicine specialists in cancer care have had a key allowance removed by the Crisafulli LNP Government as part of their enterprise bargaining.

This equates to around $30,000 a year - a 25% pay cut and means Queensland hospitals risk losing many of our highly skilled radiation workers to better paid positions interstate. ... See MoreSee Less

It was lovely to welcome His Grace Bishop Bartholomew to the Queensland Parliament today for an informal breakfast with MPs.

As we head into our final sitting of the year, his wise words on unity and respecting the views of others was timely and welcomed.

Despite 13 people being hospitalised after a spate of e-scooter and e-bike crashes across QLD in just 12 HOURS this past weekend, there is still no action on this increasing road safety issue.

We know with Christmas just around the corner, a lot of families will be buying their kids e-bikes and e-scooters.

But it's all good - the LNP Government had decided to wait for the results of a parliamentary review into e-devices due in March 2026 before they do anything. ... See MoreSee Less
