Colin has always believed in hard work and is committed to working hard and fighting for the people he represents as the Federal Member for Flynn. Colin will continue to stand up and be a strong and effective voice for the people who live and work in Central Queensland. Colin believes governments should work for the will and common good of the people, not pander to minority groups.
Before entering state politics in 2017, Colin was an active partner in his family cattle and farming enterprise, and their small engineering and earthmoving businesses. Terri and Colins two sons continue to operate these businesses and our daughter lives in Perth.
Colin was a councillor on the former Taroom Shire Council, before the State Labor Government amalgamated local councils. He is a qualified boilermaker and worked for several years in the gas industry as a high pressure pipe welder, particularly the QGC pipeline to Curtis Island. Since leaving school Colin has worked throughout Queensland as a ringer, timber cutter, and plant operator/earth moving contractor.
Colin believes we should be spending money on infrastructure that generates wealth to provide essential services to the people and he is committed to taking Flynn forward.
Our priorities are building stronger regional economies and secure communities, delivering opportunity and prosperity for all regional Australians, and ensuring a sustainable environment.
Stronger, more secure, sustainable local communities that provide the opportunity for everyone to prosper will deliver a stronger, more secure and sustainable nation.
The Nationals commitment to the national interest does not stop there. The Nationals provide a considered and common sense perspective on all elements of Government policy and a balance between Australia’s political extremes.
