The Shadow Minister for Police and Emergency Services, John-Paul Langbroek has accepted an invitation from Glen Elmes MP, Member for Noosa, to visit the electorate on Monday 17th October.

"I have had a number of formal and informal meetings over recent months with both professional and volunteer Emergency Services personnel who are frustrated at the attitude of the Bligh Labor Government towards them and the role that they are fulfilling in the community.

On the back of increasing community frustration, Member for Glass House Andrew Powell MP has sponsored another petition calling the Government to action over the much needed safety upgrades to the D'Aguilar Highway.

"Locals have communicated to me time and time again their desperation and frustration that this Government continues to ignore their pleas to improve safety standards along this road.

Last chance for residents to have their say on the speed limit of Caloundra Road.

A Parliamentary paper and e-petition calling on changes to the speed limit of the major arterial road, already has a combined total of 1291 signatures.

Sunshine Coast Federal MP Alex Somlyay and Sunshine Coast State MP  Fiona Simpson have combined to protect Queensland community welfare groups from a Federal Regulation which would have meant retrospective pay liabilities of up to $500 million for their staff.

Mr Somlyay said that the Federal Coalition will seek to disallow this regulation that will impose a financial burden on up to 316 Queensland community welfare organisations for back pay for which they haven't been funded.
