Coalition invests in Gold Coast community safety

Gold Coasters deserve to feel safe and be safe in their home and within the local community. Only a Dutton-led Coalition government will get Australia back on track by tackling crime and making our communities safer. True to the Coalition’s values and commitment to community safety, Federal Member for Moncrieff, Angie Bell, has announced $15,000 in funding for the Nerang Girl Guides to construct a new perimeter fence to secure their premises.

Griffith University Knights to score under LNP

With sporting clubs across the Gold Coast being neglected under Labor, Federal Member for Moncrieff, Angie Bell, has today announced a $286,800 commitment for upgrades to the Griffith University Knights’ facilities, if a LNP Government is elected.

$90,000 to complete Compassion Project in Southport  

The Albanese Labor Government’s funding cut agenda is crippling Gold Coast faith groups, community organisations, not-for-profits and small businesses.

The Cross Life Baptist Church’s Compassion Project in Southport will transform the venue to assist those in our community who are disadvantaged and doing it tough – especially in this current cost of living crisis.

TRANSCRIPT – SKY NEWS NEWSDAY WITH KIERAN GILBERT

KIERAN GILBERT:

To Liberal frontbencher Angie Bell. Angie, thanks for your time. What’s the Coalition’s view of Labor’s plan to fund an additional 50 Medicare urgent care clinics?

ANGIE BELL:

Well, we’ve seen Kieran, half of those that they’ve already funded go to Labor electorates and we’ve seen another five for those seats that they are running after. I think there’s a bit of pork barrelling going on there with urgent care clinics. But the Coalition wants to see more Australians access those urgent care clinics.

Trapped in Labor’s Labyrinth: $11m spent fixing worker retention chaos

The Albanese Labor Government is spending $11 million of taxpayers’ money in a last ditch attempt to clean up its bungled Worker Retention Payment.
The Department of Education confirmed during Senate Estimates that eight organisations, including three unions, have been given funding to provide “support” to services attempting to apply for the funding.

Labor’s BEEF completely undercooked

The Albanese Labor Government is on track to repeat history with another early childhood education infrastructure program set to fail.

It’s clear Labor’s only policy addressing supply of early learning, the $1 billion Building Early Education Fund (BEEF) is completely lacking detail and ambition.

Yesterday’s Senate Estimates did nothing to quell the Coalition’s concerns this will be a repeat of a failed Rudd-era policy which saw just 38 child care centres delivered out of a promised 260.

Labor’s breaking blocks, not building them

The Albanese Labor Government’s early childhood education policies have completely collapsed because they have been built on a shaky foundation of broken promises.

In its vain pursuit of a “legacy”, Labor has rushed through ill thought out policies which have made life harder for educators, providers and families.

Senate Estimates yesterday confirmed that despite pouring billions of dollars into the sector, none of Labor’s promises have been, or will be, fulfilled.
