Reducing cost of living pressures for local families in Burleigh and ensuring a strong four pillar economy to provide local jobs now and into the future are the key election issues for our community and to get Queensland back on track, LNP candidate for Burleigh, Michael Hart said today.
"The March 24 election offers a clear choice for local residents. A choice between more of the same deception, spin and wasted money we've had from 20 years of Labor or an energetic and focussed LNP team committed to getting Queensland back on track," Mr Hart said.

Give us more Police in Burleigh
Michael Hart, the LNP CanDo candidate for Burleigh, says "Tuesday's holdup at the local Westpac branch in James St and a spate of break-ins on the Gold Coast Hwy demonstrates the lack of commitment to fighting local crime.
"It is obvious that the Labor member is out of touch with the local community and State Labor is not serious about stopping crime in the Burleigh area. Burleigh locals deserve a member who has a proactive approach to reducing crime other than offering passive personal rewards.
