2019 FEDERAL ELECTION: MEET THE CANDIDATES

We live in the most beautiful place in the world and, having grown up in Bracken Ridge and now living in
Clontarf, I want to see our community thrive.
With your support, I’ve secured funding to upgrade the Bruce Highway, Gateway Motorway, Linkfield Rd
Overpass, the old Rothwell Roundabout, Boundary Rd Overpass, Deception Bay Rd Overpass, On/Off ramps to
the Bruce Highway from Griffin and the Mango Hill Train Station car park.
I want our children to have the sporting infrastructure they need to chase their dreams. So I’ve secured a new
running track for Deception Bay, netball courts for the North Lakes Blues, field lighting for the North Lakes Eels
and new women’s changerooms at the Dolphins. I’m also fighting to save the North Lakes Golf Course.
Unemployment was the top issue when I was elected in 2013 – so I started a Job Seeker Boot Camp to connect
job seekers with local employers and employment agencies. The events have been a great success and
Deception Bay is no longer among Australia’s top 20 regions with the highest youth unemployment.
Luke Howarth Today, our community is economically stronger, our roads are safer and we’ve busted traffic hotspots. But
there’s still more to do! With your support I’ll keep working hard to deliver results.

Corinne is a long-term resident in the area and understands the importance of a stable Government. Buying
her first house locally when she was 21, Corinne lived and worked in the Moreton Bay region ever since.
Corrine is passionate in the region continuing to grow and thrive, she understands the pressure that the LNP
chaos and cuts have placed on our local area. Corinne will always stand up against the LNP’s cuts to local
schools and hospitals.
Corinne has significant experience working across Government and policy making. Working in a senior local
government role, she has built a strong reputation by working with local community, sporting and business
groups to deliver for Moreton Bay. Corinne will use this experience to fight for the roads, infrastructure and
services we need in our growing community.
Corinne knows that Petrie needs an MP who has the energy and vision to help build a stronger future. That’s
Corinne Mulholland why Corinne will fight to reverse unfair cuts to penalty rates and the LNP’s cuts to Redcliffe Hospital.

I live in this community with my wife and daughters and have worked in the product sourcing industry for
more than twenty years. Previously, I worked at Super Cheap and ran my own small business as an import
broker. I’m an active participant in several community organisations, resident’s association and as a member
of a number of local sustainability groups.
As your local representative, I will work with local business and community groups to build a strong and
vibrant community that is innovative, sustainable and inclusive. I will fight for a universal health care system
that includes dental and mental health, fairer funding of schools with free TAFE and university, an increase in
the minimum wage and Newstart allowance, free childcare, affordable housing, and a public energy retailer
that will bring down power bills.
Jason Kennedy We need the Greens to fight for a better future for all of us, and we need to keep the Greens in the Senate to
hold the major parties to account.

I am a family man with government experience and I am passionate about community service, being heard
and making a difference to everyday people. I was an international student, a skilled migrant and a proud
Australian. I have worked in Education sector, Energy industry, State and Federal Governments and I have seen
so many places where we can improve.
We built our first home in Fitzgibbon and I commute to work in the city and am aware of the problems that
our electorate is currently facing. I am here to listen to the people on the issues that matter for them, fight and
make sure our problems get addressed.
I am passionate about representing the community of Petrie, I would like to work for the best interest of all
Australians and contribute towards making this country a safe place to live.
