After my successful re-election campaign, I will return for a fourth term as the Member for Southport. Along with this important role I have been appointed as the new Minister of Tourism and Fair Trading. This position also includes the Racing and Liquor Licensing portfolios.

During my time as Minister I will be visiting tourism icons all over Queensland and this page will keep track of my work. I encourage everyone to follow my travels as the Minister by reading below my entries into the Minister's Diary where I will write about my latest experiences.

Mt Tamborine

I love getting out of the office and meeting some colourful characters and I wasn’t disappointed when I visited Mt Tamborine recently.  From all accounts the operators are positive the tourism industry is on the mend with many telling me that business is good on the mountain.  Certainly Michael and Alla Ward from the unique Tamborine Mountain Distillery are doing something right with all those awards! I also got to check out the five star Ruffles Lodge, the Cheese Factory and Mt Tamborine Brewery, Polish Place Restaurant, the Cedar Creek Estate Winery and its Glow Worm Caves.
