2nd March 2017
  • LNP Shadow Cabinet will hold a community forum at Rowers on the River, Bundaberg Central this weekend
  • Community members are invited to meet the LNP team to discuss local issues important to the Wide Bay and Burnett regions
  • The LNP is the only political party that is listening to Regional Queenslanders

The LNP Shadow Cabinet is heading to Bundaberg this weekend and locals are invited to meet the team and speak face-to-face with Shadow Ministers about the issues important to them.

LNP Leader Tim Nicholls said the community forum was a great opportunity for families, business owners and community groups to speak first-hand to Shadow Ministers about infrastructure, police, crime, transport, health and education.

“Deb and I can’t wait to bring the team to Bundaberg to pound the pavement and hear from locals on the issues that matter most,” Mr Nicholls said.

“The LNP community forum will give locals the opportunity to register for meetings with any Shadow Minister they like, in any portfolio – whether it be agriculture, health, infrastructure, police or education.

“It is extremely important to me that my Shadow Ministers are in regional communities listening first-hand to the issues facing locals.”

Deputy LNP Leader Deb Frecklington said the Liberal National Party will always listen to Regional Queenslanders and act in their best interests.

“This isn’t our first time in Bundy, but we’re even more excited to bring the entire Shadow Cabinet along this time around,” Ms Frecklington said.

“We know people are frustrated with the major parties and that is why the Liberal National Party has been out-and-about listening to Regional Queenslanders.

“The LNP is listening, we are planning and we will always act in the best interests of people in Regional Queensland.

“The LNP represents the best of both traditions – Liberal and National. We will always work together to get the best for all Queenslanders.

“We want to hear from as many people as possible so be sure to register early to ensure your spot.”
