The Albanese Labor Government has snubbed Queensland’s defence industry in a blow to local Maryborough jobs and manufacturing.
Queensland had their say at the polls on Saturday, ushering in a new era and a new government focused on a fresh start and bringing accountability and transparency back to state politics.
In the spirit of Australia, I acknowledge all citizens who contribute to making our nation the greatest on earth.
I acknowledge our defence force personnel, past, present, and emerging, for their service to our nation, and particularly those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of Australia.
I also acknowledge the Australian taxpayers who, through their hard work, pay for the infrastructure, health, education, and emergency services that keep our proud nation healthy, safe, and prosperous.
