G'day from Maryborough where I'm talking with our hardworking frontline health staff.

It's been a year since the LNP promised to release a workforce plan. Since then it's been radio silence as they break yet another promise to Queenslanders.

Instead, they've introduced a Bill to go after workers' rights, delayed and cut critical health funding and underfunded our health services.

When the LNP are focused on spin, you are paying the price.

David Crisafulli and the LNP can stop fuel increasing by more than 5c/L by backing Labor’s Bill today.

Today is National Survivors' Day.

It's been more than 700 days since the High Court's decision in Bird v DP closed a pathway to justice for victim-survivors of institutional child abuse in Queensland.

The Court was clear: fixing it is up to Parliament.

When a child is abused, they don't experience it through the lens of employment law.

Survivors deserve every possible avenue to justice.

On average, they wait 24 years to come forward. They shouldn't have to wait on politics too.

The LNP-controlled committee has recommended it not be passed.

The ACT and Victoria have already acted.

Western Australia and Tasmania are moving.

Queensland is being left behind.

Labor introduced a Bill to close that loophole, so an institution can't escape responsibility just because the abuser was a volunteer or "akin to" an employee rather than formally on the payroll.

165, 107.5 and 185. 457.5 total.

A bit of personal news from the weekend, I competed at the Pan Pacific Masters Games on the Gold Coast after being challenged by Mayor Tom Tate.

For me, exercise is so important for mental health, and the comp gave me something to train towards

Northsiders and the Labor team sent a message six months ago, they sent in Luke Richmond to pressure this government to reverse its cruel cuts.

But the fight isn’t over yet.

The Queensland Labor team and I will continue to fight for Queenslanders, listen to you on what matters and hold David Crisafulli, his mates and the LNP government to account.

They’re now going after workers rights, and are too proud to back simple solutions we’re putting on the table like capping fuel increases.

Too focussed on spin, the LNP have spent millions on self-promotion and half-a-billion giving Adani a royalty holiday - meanwhile affordable housing requirements have been cut, fuel is on the up and Queenslanders are struggling with affordability.

The LNP have cut funding for DFV prevention, homelessness and have delayed other critical health projects across our state.

While Clive Palmer gets exclusive access to David Crisafulli and the LNP, and Adani receives a half-a-billion dollar coal royalty holiday, Queenslanders are paying the price

The LNP continue to delay critical upgrades and funding for one of Brisbane’s busiest hospitals, and Queenslanders are paying the price.

Luke Richmond and I spoke to media today about the LNP’s gut-wrenching decisions.

To every Queenslander who has bravely shared their housing story - thank you.

No matter the postcode, housing in our state has never been less affordable.

But we’re listening to you to shape our housing future together.
