Labor's Callide no-show

27th May 2022

Statement from Jarrod Bleijie, Deputy Leader of the Opposition

The State Government has given up on the bush.

Labor has walked away from Central Queensland.

This is a third term State Government that has become so out of touch, locals are telling us the Premier isn't even bothering to run a candidate in the Callide by-election.

This by-election is a test for the Premier and if she fails to run she is running from her record.

The Queensland Health Crisis has become catastrophic, it’s clear the State Government doesn’t want to front up to the people of Callide.

LNP Candidate Bryson Head was endorsed last December.

He is an outstanding candidate who will fight for Callide, compared to the State Government that has turned its back on the region.

What an absolute disgrace from Labor.

The only way voters can send a message to the State Government is by voting for the LNP's Bryson Head on June 18.
