FLU VACCINES NOW FREE
Last year was the worst flu season in a decade, with more than 95,000 confirmed cases and 289 deaths. These deaths aren’t just a number – they’re someone’s mum, dad, brother, sister or friend. Flu vaccines can help prevent deaths and cases. And thanks to Opposition pressure, flu vaccines in Queensland are now free.
PUSH FOR 5 CENT DAILY FUEL CAP
Queenslanders have faced the highest unleaded petrol prices in the country for three years running, putting real pressure on family budgets. That’s why Queensland Labor has introduced legislation in Parliament to cap fuel price increases. Under the proposal, retailers would only be able to raise prices by a maximum of five cents per litre per day. The RACQ has also backed the policy. If you support fairer fuel prices, please sign the petition here: https://forms.fight4qld.com/form-6931385/affordable
WYNNUM PRECINCT PLAN GETS GREEN LIGHT
Last month, Brisbane City Council (BCC) formally voted to pass their ‘Wynnum Precinct Plan’. Some 480 community submissions resulted in zero change to their original proposal. This is now BCC policy. These council changes are significant and will lead to increased population density locally. It is now incumbent on the Queensland Crisafulli Government to start adequately preparing, by investing heavily in additional health and education services, public transport, road and traffic infrastructure for our Bayside community.
PINE ST BRIDGE SAFETY
Pine Street rail bridge in Wynnum keeps getting hit. It was recently struck twice in just one week by over-height vehicles. Each incident causes delays, disruption and safety concerns for local road users and train commuters. I have written to the Brisbane Lord Mayor calling for urgent action, noting recent road markings and warning signage are proving ineffective. I have urged Brisbane City Council to investigate all possible solutions to prevent further strikes and improve safety for the community.
