Doors are reopening. Visitors are returning. And small and family businesses are getting back on their feet - and we’re supporting them every step of the way.
We’ve doubled the Exceptional Disaster Assistance Recovery grants to $50,000 to fast track recovery and get businesses back up and running.
Now more than ever, regional small and family businesses need our support.
Since coming to office, we’ve been focused on getting the settings right for exploration, and if the early results are confirmed, we will move quickly to fast track the path to production.
By giving industry confidence and laying the groundwork for new oil and gas production, we’re securing Queensland’s energy future, ensuring our resources sector remains strong for decades to come.
These are the sorts of opportunities that slipped by during Labor’s decade of decline in Queensland, when investor confidence was driven off a cliff.
The Taroom Trough has the potential to be one of the most significant onshore oil prospects in a generation, and we won’t let that opportunity pass.
This means new life for regional Queensland communities - keeping jobs, investment and opportunity right here at home.
49 days fuel to ....
Make sure its for domestic use first and that these companies are taxed on any exports.
Why dont you simply keep MORE of the 96% of the oil we already EXPORT overseas and import back refined? Otherwise I can easily imagine what ever oil fields you open will be gobbled up by opportunistic EXPORTERS🤷♀️
Really???? What have you done Steve Minnikin MP when does drilling commence?
Price at the pump won’t change though - just like GAS.
only LNP !!!! labor still trying to work out where to spend a another $B on solar or wind turbines…… so good not to have a woke state government
I’ve been building domestic fuel supply for the last 20 years. It’s called wind power and solar power. And it keeps getting cheaper. Why are you pollies all just interested in multinational oil, gas and coal companies that take our resources mostly for free, make billions and pay no tax? They give us nothing but polluted shitholes that will forever be wastelands and can never be used again for anything worthwhile.
The latest Queensland Crime Report shows youth offending fell in three key offences in the 2024-25 financial year, including the first six months of Adult Crime, Adult Time.
The report also shows 👇
🚨A 9.9% reduction in the rate of break-ins, compared to 2023-24
🚨A 10.6% reduction in the rate of robbery, compared to 2023-24
🚨A 5.6% reduction in the rate of stolen cars, compared to 2023-24
🚨And for the first time in half a decade, the majority of robberies, break-ins and stolen cars are no longer being committed primarily by youth.
We know there’s more work to do but we’re starting to turn the tide on Labor’s Youth Crime Crisis.
Steve , Townsville drop in crime delivering savings . Postcode 4814 $500- $1,000 saving home renewals . Reduction in car insurance . Business insurance should come down also .
It was raining. My daughter and I were protesting in front of High Court in Melbourne because we were treated very unfairly in the High Court and we need High Court to save our lives from persecution by Commonwealth of Australia.

Our nation-leading home ownership-scheme has just helped him buy his first home.
Boost to Buy is delivering more Queenslanders a place to call home – and applications for Round 2 are now open.
The scheme closes the deposit gap for Queenslanders who don’t have access to the bank of mum and dad by providing 30% equity contribution for new homes and 25% for existing homes, with a minimum 2% deposit required on properties up to $1 million.
Home ownership was a nightmare under Labor, but we’re committed to making that dream a reality for Queenslanders desperate to get into the market.
We're delivering what we promised – and putting the great Australian dream of home ownership within reach for more Queenslanders.

It’s been 3 months since we created Queensland’s first public child sex offender register – and it’s making a difference.
Daniel’s Law is giving families access to critical information to help protect their children.
In just three months there’s been:
💻 290,000 website visits
🔍 38,800 locality searches
❌ and three registered offenders who allegedly broke their reporting obligations have been charged by police
It’s still early days but these results are already proving having this knowledge gives parents and police the power to act.
We owe this to Daniel, to his family, and to every Queensland child who deserves to grow up safe.
It’s another part of our plan to restore safety where you live.

Weed em out. Hide ,but can not run away. Well done libs and police. Just need courts to stiffen up
Came to the page of the Minister for Small and Family Business to see what he has to say about the effects of scrapping surcharging for small businesses.
Well I guess it would be nice if the Minister had some interest in his portfolio instead of birthday bangers.
Sir, if you ask someone to end my matter, it will be very good for me and my family. Sir, everyone in my family is very sick, please call and help me a little. Sir, some bad people do not let me walk on the road, threaten me, come to kill me etc. They try to kill me and my family a thousand times, try to ruin my honor, hack my phone and do whatever they want with my ID, hack my phone. They make me physically and mentally ill, drive me crazy with greed and try to kill me to get married. The real purpose of marriage is to kill me and ruin my family's honor, please help me a little and solve my matter..😭

Unlocking the Taroom Trough is critical to locking in future national fuel security.
We’re streamlining this project under the new Taroom Trough Development Plan to get more oil out of the ground sooner.
Never again should we be left without the ability to generate domestic fuel supply.
This is a generational opportunity to ensure we’re not left at the end of a global supply chain. ... See MoreSee Less
