Direct support will be provided to schools in communities experiencing high cost of living pressures and food insecurity.

The health and wellbeing of students is important, as we know a student with a healthy diet and a full stomach performs not only better in the classroom but will develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Plus, $500,000 to deliver healthy food options at 253 Queensland state schools

$1,000 will be slashed up front thanks to the Queensland Government and an extra $300 from the Federal Government. 

That means most Bayside households won’t pay a cent on their energy bill until March 2025.

Plus, Bayside small businesses will also receive $650 off their bill.

It’s only possible because we’re making the multinational mining companies pay their fair share and because we kept our energy assets in public hands.

From 5 August, the cost of all Translink public transport services will be slashed to 50 cents, no matter where you live or how far you travel.

New Premier Steven Miles’ number one priority is taking pressure off Queenslanders’ household
budgets. The upcoming budget will deliver the biggest cost of living relief in Queensland’s history.

As part of this unprecedented budget, the Premier has announced from 5 August 2024 the Miles Labor Government will lower all public transport fares to 50 cents a trip for 6 months.

By lowering fares to 50 cents we’re taking pressure off household bills and easing congestion. 

It’s important that Caucus demonstrate how the Miles Government is putting more money back in the
pockets of Queenslanders and taking cars off the road.

May is Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) Awareness month. This year our Bayside DV Candlelight Vigil will be on Thursday, 4 May 2023 from 5:30pm – 6:30pm at Pandanus Beach, Wynnum.
 
I encourage Baysiders of all ages to attend and to have the opportunity to hear from guest speakers and survivors of DFV as together, we gather in solidarity by the light of hundreds of candles to send a clear message: that DFV in families and homes will never be tolerated.
I invite you to join with other Baysiders to make a stand against DFV.
