Jan Rohzinksi - National Candidate for Hervey Bay Has Her Say
This election is an important opportunity to change Queensland and Hervey Bay for the better.
Eight years of Labor Government have hurt Queensland.
The crises in health, including mental health, and the education and families departments have led to falling living standards in our community.
Hervey Bay has suffered as Labor’s poor economic management has led to big increases in state taxes.
Labor’s support for the Traveston dam will silt up the Mary River, devastate fishing habitats, the Great Sandy Marine Park, hurt families and drown communities.
We must build a more prosperous Queensland and a more secure community to leave our children. To do this we must abandon cheap political point scoring and look past the quick fix mentality.
We need to plan for our future and put in place a structure which encompasses health, education, jobs, community services and important local projects – all within a sound economy.
I have a proven track record of delivering for Hervey Bay with over 26 years of local, community and business experience. I am passionate about Hervey Bay. I am not afraid of hard work and will fight for all residents to ensure the community gets the support it deserves.
I was involved in tourism before being elected to Council and held the tourism, marketing, economic development and seniors portfolios. As a Councillor, I worked as part of a team that delivered the new Visitor Information Centre and the expanded airport terminal which has boosted visitor numbers to Hervey Bay.
I founded Business Hervey Bay and was one of the instigators of the rapidly growing annual Seniors Expo. I have a strong background in tourism and was a member of the Hervey Bay Tourism Board.
As a small business woman, qualified workplace trainer, real estate agent, Rotarian, and member of Hervey Bay’s Chamber of Commerce, I understand the importance of supporting existing businesses and encouraging new ones to grow the local economy and create more jobs.
I am committed to:
Fixing the health system – more doctors and nurses, improving aged care and the introduction of local hospital boards to give the community a say in the running of our hospital.
Fixing our roads – building and upgrading roads and improving traffic flow and pedestrian safety.
Fixing the water crisis – introduction of water rebates to encourage water conservation and NO to the Traveston DAM.
Fixing education and employment – delivering quality education through smaller class sizes and providing more employment opportunities.
Fixing law and order – more police on the beat and improved emergency services for safer communities.
I am also committed to delivering important local projects like the Fraser Coast Discovery Centre and the Hervey Bay Civic / Conference Centre. There are also urgent infrastructure needs for Hervey Bay that must be fixed as quickly as possible:
Traffic lights and pedestrian crossings at dangerous intersections like Boat Harbour Drive
A Driver Training Facility
More Boat Ramps
Sporting Grounds
Security Cameras along the Esplanade
And the list goes on
As your representative in the Queensland Parliament, I will be a strong, effective and supportive voice for all the people of Hervey Bay.
On Saturday, please help me to make Hervey Bay better by giving me your number 1 vote on the ballot paper.
