With the drought continuing for another 12 months at least, and Stanthorpe facing a Day Zero event for the second time this century; is it now time to fill our dams with recycled water?

I want to hear your feedback

Our borders have been closed because NSW can’t control the spread of COVID-19 in their state. But I want to hear from those living near the border about how the recent changes have affected you.

    Unlike the LNP, our election commitments are fully Unlike the LNP, our election commitments are fully costed and fully funded. And they’ll put Queensland on the road to economic recovery.
    BREAKING // Border declaration passes will now be BREAKING // Border declaration passes will now be valid for 14 days commencing at 3pm on 30 Oct 2020. Other changes include: - Allow unaccompanied minors to enter Queensland if there is a responsible adult who consents to quarantine in government arranged accommodation with the child - Allow disaster management workers to enter Queensland to prepare for, respond to or assist in recovery from disasters - Give effect to the new Disaster Management Protocol - Include new requirements for how people can travel to quarantine or leave quarantine for permitted purposes such as that a person travelling in a taxi must travel in the back seat on the passenger side - Require people in quarantine to wear a mask whenever directed to by an emergency officer - Not allow people who are waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test to enter Queensland until they receive a negative result, unless they are entering for an essential activity - To clarify that as soon as a place is removed from the list of COVID-19 hotspot, you can enter Queensland even if you had been to that place in the 14 days before - Include 3 new postcodes in the border zone. These are Queensland postcodes that extend into New South Wales: 4375 4377 4380
    When we back our firefighters, we back every Queen When we back our firefighters, we back every Queensland Fire and Emergency Services employee and volunteer across the state. That means we back every Queenslander, which is why a re-elected Palaszczuk Government is committed to providing an extra 357 firefighters across the next five years. That’s an $86 million investment to significantly increase firefighter numbers to keep our communities safe. We’ve kept Queenslanders safe during the pandemic and now we’re continuing to invest in frontline services to continue to keep Queenslanders safe. That’s because we’re on the road to economic recovery.
    Queensland’s agriculture industry keeps our econ Queensland’s agriculture industry keeps our economy strong, so we’re backing our farmers by slashing water prices for irrigation. A re-elected Palaszczuk government will cut irrigation costs by up to 50 per cent for fruit and vegetable growers from 1 July 2021. We have already frozen water prices this year and absorbed dam safety costs to provide relief for Queensland business and industry hit hard by COVID-19. This means more crops, more jobs, and more value for Queensland. We can’t let Queensland’s economic recovery sink. Commitments like this will keep it afloat. #qldjobs
    Our veterans have given their best for Australia, Our veterans have given their best for Australia, and they deserve our best support, whether it is health, employment or a safe place to live. That’s why, if re-elected, we’ll provide more support to our veterans with $10 million for employment assistance, infrastructure funding, legal help, homelessness support and other services. As we continue to deliver our plan to keep Queenslanders safe and in jobs, we have a responsibility to give our veterans the opportunities every Queenslander should enjoy.

I will always stand with our public service and the work done by our frontline staff such as doctors and nurses. They must be given the tools to do their jobs and prevent their jobs being privatised.
