More Labor Rubbish
Dale Shuttleworth, LNP Candidate for Ferny Grove, expressed his surprise and concern that the State Labor government plans, by 1st December 2011, to levy $35 per tonne on commercial and industrial waste.
"This is a retrograde step," Shuttleworth said, "which can only increase the costs to small businesses and to local councils themselves in dealing with rubbish. These increases will inevitably be passed on in increased prices and increased domestic rates to households."

Shuttleworth urges Wilson to come clean on carbon tax impact
LNP Candidate for Ferny Grove, Dale Shuttleworth, today called on the current state member, Mr Geoff Wilson, to come clean on the impact of Labor's job destroying carbon tax.
"Labor's own modelling shows that 21,000 jobs will be lost in Queensland over the next ten years. What it doesn't show is where these jobs will be lost and the likely flow on effect," Dale Shuttleworth said.

Year 7 impact on the Torres Strait highlights the challenges facing all remote Queensland communities
The LNP Shadow Education Minister Dr Bruce Flegg said that the concern being expressed in the Torres Strait Islands about the impact of the move of Year 7 to high school reflected broader concern among rural and remote Queenslanders about the significant impact that this would have.
'The majority of secondary students from the Torres Strait attend boarding school in Cairns or elsewhere with only a relatively small minority being able to access high school education in the Strait," Dr Flegg said.
