Putting your interests first in Longman


kevin rudd and jon Sullivan
I'm working with Kevin Rudd and Labor to:

- Invest in the infrastructure we need for tomorrow in our local economy today
- Stimulate the economy and help protect jobs and cushion us from the full impact of the global financial recession
- Build a modern Australia, ready to face the challenges of the future.

My office has a range of information kits and can offer assistance with Federal Government issues.

I want to hear your thoughts on issues affecting our area and make sure I continue to represent your views in Canberra.

This week: travelling to Adelaide for a meeting of the Prime Ministerial Country Taskforce. Then returning home to speak with constituents and local community groups.

I'll also be at the launch of local NAIDOC Week celebrations and at the official opening of Lakeside Park.

New Office
My office has recently moved to unit 1/260 Morayfield Road.

I'm really pleased my new office has better access, especially for my elderly and disabled constituents. It is easier to get to and has plenty of parking.

I'm encouraging contituents to come in and vist the new office and I'm always keen to hear from locals and represent their views in Canberra.

LOCAL SCHOOLS WIN BIG WITH FEDERAL FUNDING
This week I announced the successful schools in Round 2 of the Government's Primary Schools for the 21st Century infrastructure initiative.

Primary schools in Longman have recieved nearly $46 million in this round of funding, with another $8 million going to schools just oustide the Longman electorate who draw students from our suburbs.

This is a major win for our local schools and a boost for our local economy.

In Round 1, Beachmere State School, Bribie Island State School and Caboolture East State School recieved funds, for details of schools to recieve funds in Round 2 follow the links below.
