It was great to meet local small businesses as part of the Celebrating Indigenous Enterprise event in Caboolture today.
This networking event is backed by our Better Local Business Grant, celebrating and connecting First Nations businesses from across the Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast regions.
Queensland is home to nearly 5,000 Indigenous-owned businesses and we’re committed to seeing that number grow.
There’s just over a week of Queensland Small Business Month remaining. Get involved and visit business.qld.gov.au/QSBM to find an event near you.
This National Volunteer Week, our Crisafulli LNP Government is shining a light on all the amazing work our volunteers do.
We've launched a Parliamentary Inquiry to ensure our volunteers get the support they need.
To everyone that pitches in to lend a hand for their fellow Queenslanders, thank you.

The former Labor Government knew these figures and didn’t act.
The trauma and neglect of children was happening on Labor’s watch.
This is about protecting vulnerable children and the community.
We took an out-of-home care strategy to the election, and we will continue to enact that plan while this Commission is ongoing.
The census report is harrowing.
It found that children who were entering the out-of-home care system had suffered significant trauma:
• 11% had been sexually abused
• 46% had been physically abused
• 83% had suffered emotional abuse
• 88% had been neglected
• 68% had been exposed to domestic violence
• 69% had experienced three or more abuse types
This is the Commission of Inquiry the State must have if we are serious about the safety of Queensland children and our communities.
Reforming the State’s broken Child Safety System is critical, and we will take the steps others have been afraid to take because it is the right thing to do.
This Queensland Small Business Month, I’m proud to congratulate newsExtra Gumdale on being named one of just five recipients of the ‘Chatsworth Outstanding Customer Service Award’ 🎉
Whether it’s the morning paper or a last-minute gift, locals know they can always count on the friendly team for excellent service.
A big congratulations to the whole team on this well deserved recognition!
Steve Minnikin MP We are incredibly grateful for the honor of receiving this award. It is truly humbling and I want to express my heartfelt thank you to our customers, our team and the whole community. We want to extend our deepest gratitude for this recognition.
Thank you from the whole team at News Extra Gumdale.
Local Legends are the ones who don’t ask for credit – they just get in and get the job done - and embody the Queensland spirit.
Every Queensland town or city has someone who makes that community a better place, and this is about giving those people the recognition they deserve.
That’s why we’re proud to announce the Local Legends Awards, ahead of Queensland Day on June 6 🎉
Nominations can be made at www.qld.gov.au/qldday, and close at 11:59pm on Sunday 1 June.
We’ll announce all the winners on Queensland Day 🙌

Perhaps Ask your instructors to help you comprehend:
1 why your business is unable to operate viably
2. How much money you have lost on the investment that you made partnering with the Qld government
3. What you can possibly do to try and turn the situation around and
4. Whether the government should perhaps compensate you for creating a system that now favours your previously unlicensed and illegal rival, that is run by a foreign multinational and now favoured by the Qld state government.
This is A great course and opportunity to understand the pitfalls in trusting your business partners - which in the case of qld taxi Licnce owners was the qld state government.
Hopefully to put pressure on the new government ,with law and order as one of their priorities, to level the playing field when it comes to cameras and sound in ALL vehicles in the industry. Initial legislation included ALL vehicles but then mysteriously changed to mandatory only in taxis. South Australia has now decided to comply and make it mandatory in all vehicles. Knowing the intensity in which information is kept in-house with the foreign multinational bullies, passengers and drivers should be protected on a level playing field. A phrase once promised by a previous premier liar in our state.
I know exactly what my bottom line is… and I also know what bonus your government will get from payroll tax when July wage/super rises come in, along with replacing family staff who have had enough.
That money is straight from my lean back pocket.
You sir, are an absolute farce who is not going into bat for business, having hand balled payroll tax concerns as ‘not your portfolio’.
You should be ashamed to call yourself the minister for small business.

This is another step towards strengthening our youth crime laws, after a decade of Labor’s weak laws created a generation of repeat youth offenders.

Aroma Bakery is a boutique patisserie with two locations – one on Old Cleveland Road in Carina and another at Westfield Carindale.
Their customer service is as exceptional as their pastries and coffee – and that’s saying something!

I’m delighted to announce that they’ve been awarded one of the five ‘Chatsworth Outstanding Customer Service Awards’. Congratulations! 👏
