To every Queenslander who has bravely shared their housing story - thank you.
No matter the postcode, housing in our state has never been less affordable.
But we’re listening to you to shape our housing future together.

If the government can’t help our most vulnerable find a safe place to sleep, then who can it help?
Queensland’s housing situation is at crisis point, and the stories we’re hearing at our forums are harrowing and sadly all too common.
The current LNP government has cut funding for homeless services and cut thousands of affordable homes.
It can’t go on like this.
David Crisafulli and the LNP can stop fuel increasing by more than 5c/L by backing Labor’s Bill today.
Reminder: David Crisafulli, Jarrod Bleijie the LNP are coming after your rights at work, again.
Let them know you won’t stand for it.

“Children are being raised in the back of a car, and getting sent to school pretending that they live somewhere.”
That was one of the stories from our latest housing forum.
It’s not an isolated one.

Queensland is in the midst of a housing affordability crisis that is costing people's lives.
We heard it last night, at a housing forum hosted on Brisbane's Northside.
It's a devastating, saddening reality.

I’ll always stand by Queenslanders and fight to make life more affordable.
David Crisafulli should put politics aside and Queenslanders first.
Will he back our plan for cheaper fuel?
It’s official, Brisbane is the nation’s least affordable capital.
In two years, David Crisafulli and the LNP have cut 10,000 affordable homes all while failing to help families with the cost of living.
Now, according to the Household Budget Braometer, only 12.76 per cent of homes in Greater Brisbane remain affordable for first home buyers in two average salaries.
David Crisafulli and the LNP have failed Youth Justice and Child Safety workers in our state.
Now, they’re going after more of their rights at work.
We’re in lockstep with these frontline staff and all Queensland workers against these Newman-era laws.
It’s been a busy week in parliament, but when students from St James College came to visit I made sure to give them the full tour.
Some would rather certain voices weren't heard in this building. This was a chance to remind these young Qlders that this is their Parliament too.
