Thank you to Principal Anthony Elmore for taking me on a tour of the magnificent new St Bonaventure's College Flagstone today!
The campus has been thoughtfully designed and it was fantastic to see students and teachers already making the most of these wonderful new learning and play spaces.
Meeting some of the students and staff, and seeing classes underway, it was clear there is a warm, welcoming and supportive culture across the school.
With Flagstone growing so quickly, it’s exciting that planning is already underway for the next stages of the college as the student cohort continues to expand.

David Crisafulli and the LNP promised no cuts to essential services.
But a new "customer service" plan shows 700 Queensland Rail station workers will be sacked or have their hours cut, starting on 1 May (Labour Day).
As a result, many suburban stations will have no staff onsite after 1pm on weekdays, and no staff at all on weekends.
I understand #Springfield Station will be one of those affected.
For school kids, elderly passengers, people with disability or women & girls concerned for their safety, there will be no one there to help.
Our community deserves better. ... See MoreSee Less

We used to have no one at the stations after 1pm.
Also means no access to toilets I'm sure, they'll be locked.

Price gouging is so un-Australian! 👎
The ACCC has summoned petrol retailers and suppliers for an emergency meeting TODAY about the sudden increase in prices at the bowser.
Here in Queensland, we can cap fuel prices - and the #labor Opposition have written the legislation to make this happen.
We just need the Crisafulli LNP Government to act!

And how much of that price is government excise? Just asking 🤔
Ask the federal government how much GST they are making?
Tax the natural resources industry now. It's time

**IPSWICH TO SPRINGFIELD RAIL EXTENSION**
Where is the Options Analysis Stage 2 Business Case for the Ipswich to Springfield Rail line extension?
This work was jointly funded by the previous Labor State Government and current Federal Labor Government in 2022.
The Options Analysis was completed in 2025 but the LNP Government will not release it - despite #Ipswich MPs asking for it to be made public.
We know that the outcome of the Options Analysis is meant to inform the Detailed Business Case (which State Labor /Federal Labor also funded to the tune or $7.5 million).
It's time to release the Options Analysis, get cracking on the Detailed Business Case so we can get this critical rail corridor built for our growing communities. ... See MoreSee Less

The rail line to Springfield was completed in 2014 (approx). When all the planning was done for that why did the (Labor) government not have the foresight to complete the study for the extension all the way through to Yamanto instead of just Springfield? Why spend an additional $7.5 million on another “Options Analysis”. They knew it would be needed. Just as they knew the single lane Centenary Hwy would not be fit for purpose. So maybe the Labor party need to stop pointing the finger and look in the mirror. I’m happy to pass on my bank details to the Labor party as I’m happy to provide an Option Analysis for $1 million instead of $7.5 million. Here it is in advance : Comprehensive Option Analysis on the Springfield to Yamanto rail line AND as a free bonus, an Option Analysis for the upgrade of the Centenary Mwy from Springfield to Yamanto. Result: use the vacant land to build both and just do it because it’s needed desperately. There we go. Done. You are welcome 😃
Charis Mullen MP what’s the point if the Springfield line can’t get a fair share of express trains from Darra? The commute times from Deebing, etc would be pathetic. What is stopping this? No shortage of trains on either line in the morning, just no fairness in the sequencing.

Will this be for public or private only?
Kristine Gee Eden Courteney Kye Laegel I wonder if their emergency ward will have a neurologist available…
About time. We have been needing another public hospital around these areas for years. It’s been a long time coming. Let’s hope it’s better than Ipswich hospital and that the car park is better as well.
