I encourage groups across the Chatsworth electorate to apply for funding, to help deliver projects and activities that are important to our community.

Whether it’s a local charity or a much-loved footy club, every dollar awarded helps support the work these organisations do.

I look forward to congratulating the successful recipients and sharing your good news stories.

Round 126 offers grants up to $35,000 to support not-for-profit groups and will close on 28 February 2026.

🚗 Noah is one of thousands of Queensland learner drivers.

Driver trainers now have the option to carry their credentials digitally in the Queensland Digital Licence app. This means that learners like Noah can quickly verify on the spot that their trainer’s details are current and legit.

The Crisafulli Government is continuing to expand digital licences, cutting red tape, and giving Queenslanders more choice with physical licences still available.

Looks like a real estate Johnny

We done guys Mr Barista Coffee would not mind a plug 🙏

We also remember when lnp shut down the country. Only the ones that donate could stay open and if killed small businesses across the whole country. We all remember how lnp helped Cole’s and Woolies.

Proudly owned by Aleks and Michele, this hidden gem is already making a name for itself with authentic Roman pizza served by the slice 🍕

075 Pinsa Romana is just one of more than 500,000 small and family businesses (a major milestone!) that are powering Queensland’s economy and strengthening our local communities.

Counting OF and NDIS?

Until their next electricity bill

Castle law

How about helping all North Queenslanders by giving us the same options that the great South East receives such as electricity etc

Ai and robots will replace a lot of that soon hopefully. We don't need that many businesses. I bet half of them aren't filling a hole in the market but just competing with similar businesses. Do we need a dominoes and pizza hut in the same shopping complex? No we don't

Good luck to then all. 🍀🍀🍀🍀

And lots are getting more productive from your efforts

Good news! Let’s hope it continues to grow and grow and grow

Wow ! How about you talk about the small businesses that that are no longer operating because of your government.

Stop 🛑 shopping at corporate supermarkets and give back to the family butcher baker and green grocer.

I find it interesting that your background is Shopping Centre Management. This partially explains the lack of genuine empathy for the small business sector. That role is more about maximising return from the tenants for the ‘big boys’, than actually helping the operators. LNP are more interested in maximising income generated from payroll tax (I’ve heard 8% of the budget) than relief to sectors that have faced very tough times. It seems your previous experience is perfect for the role.

Thats only due to counting contractors as a business and the reason there is so many contractors is because no employer has the confidence in their security to take on employee,s because they don't know just how long they can afford to run at a loss.Stats dont always tell the full story.

That’s great for business Record bankruptcy in the rest of the country due to albos net zero energy plan Do they get cheap power in qld???

No help from you. You still punish small businesses with extra compliance and payroll taxes.

Have you seen how many have had to close down over the cost increase

Across the other states thousands of small businesses are closing Labor have never supported small business I was in business for 40 years and Labor always hindered I always prospered when the Libs were in Now we have a Communist government it is going to get a lot worse

Check out new local business - Florentia Pizza at Coorparoo. Amazing authentic pizzas www.facebook.com/share/16brZzaUh7/?mibextid=wwXIfr

there'd be heaps more if payroll tax was abolished and electricity prices went back to what it was before the zero carbon crap was implemented because that Swedish teenager sucked the world into the climate change scam..

How about getting medical certificates on the digital license rather than having to carry a piece of paper
