In 2014, the LNP signed off on 75 new trains that were not disability compliant, and they built them overseas.
Today we celebrated the last of the 75 NGRs being upgraded. They now exceed accessibility compliance so they can offer equitable service to all passengers.
I especially want to thank Kevin Cocks AM GAICD and all of the members of the QR Accessibility Reference Group for their work in delivering these trains. The work of these reference groups often goes unnoticed by those unaffected by disability.
Joey Tempest sang it right when he said it's the final countdown.
From August 5, Queenslanders will be able to enjoy 50c fares on all Translink services.
That's buses, trains, ferries, trams AND on demand services all for just 50 cents
Young people take and experiment with drugs. There is no use pretending that they do not.
This is about safety and prevention. If we can save one life this is worthwhile.
The LNP would take away this service and put more young people at risk.
We are bringing a confidential and free pill-testing service to Schoolies at Surfers Paradise.
The LNP have said they do not not support pill testing and will scrap it if elected to government.
That is the difference between us and them.
Stefan Ackerie has been iconic for over 60 years.
His salons have adorned the streets of Queensland since I was a young girl in New Farm.
Like Madonna, Prince and Beyoncé - we all know him by just Stefan.
He probably won’t pay for electricity for the next year, which is great to hear.
Our power rebates have already started helping Queenslanders across the state.
And we’re only able to do it because we’ve made big mining companies pay their fair share.
For Gary, his mobility scooter is his gateway to the outside world.
It allows him to get around without exhausting himself.
He told my team that our $1,300 power rebates have taken the sting out of his electricity bills.
From Gympie to Gold Coast, we’re slashing the cost of all Translink public transport fares.
Whether you catch the train, bus, ferry or tram your fare will be 50c.
No matter how long your trip is on the Translink network.
Now the question will be - where will 50c take you?
We know pill testing saves lives.
That’s why we’ve opened our second fixed pill testing site at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast.
It’s a free, voluntary, and confidential pill testing service.
