✈ Here’s Your Chance to Tell Brisbane Exactly What You Think of Rex, and What the North West Actually Needs
The Government is rolling into the North West for “consultation sessions” on regional air services, so this is your moment to speak up.
If you’re sick of unreliable flights, sky-high fares, limited seats, or feeling like our region is an afterthought, now’s the time to put it on the record.
After previously meeting with the Minister, I met with the Department last week to push these issues directly. Now they need to hear it from locals too.
North & North West sessions (by date):
📍 Mornington Island – 26 Nov
📍 Normanton – 27 Nov
📍 Karumba – 28 Nov
📍 Julia Creek – 2 Dec
📍 Boulia – 3 Dec
📍 Richmond – 3 Dec
📍 Hughenden – 4 Dec
(Full list is on their website if you're elsewhere across the state.)
If you can’t make a session, you can email your thoughts directly:

North and North West Queensland rely on air services for everything – medical trips, family, business and basic connection. We need reliability, affordability and accountability, not just another glossy consultation tour.
Make sure they hear from the people who actually use these services.

🫣 YOUTH CRIME CHAOS: WHERE’S THE ACCOUNTABILITY?
How many young offenders are skipping their mandatory programs in the North West?
That’s the question I’ve put directly to the Youth Justice Minister.
If kids under Youth Justice supervision aren’t even turning up to the programs that are meant to keep them on track, then the whole system is failing and locals are left to wear the consequences. And too often, they’re re-offending while they’re supposed to be in these programs in the first place.
This is exactly why people are calling for Castle Law. Families want the right to defend themselves in their own homes when the system won’t.
North West Queenslanders deserve straight answers and real consequences.
I’ll share the results as soon as the Minister responds.
