Whether it’s hearing directly from regional homeless services like Kalyan or on the doors talking directly to you, the message is clear: housing is unaffordable. In Mackay alone, the median house price has jumped 17 per cent to $675,000 in just one year.

Meanwhile the LNP government is telling builders to remove affordable homes from their project. We need action, not an LNP government that is all talk on affordable homes.

We need youth foyers for our most vulnerable young people, and affordable houses for families and frontline workers - no matter where in our state they live. Our Queensland Labor team is out in Mackay this week to talk with the community and hear what matters.

Queenslanders deserve better than a government that’s all talk and no action, than a government that’s making the housing crisis worse.

The LNP have cut 580 affordable homes from new developments. That means more than 10,000 have been cut by this government. Queensland is in a housing affordability crisis, but instead of approving the LNP are axing affordable housing developments.

36 in Lutwyche, and 550 on the Gold Coast bring the LNP’s affordable housing cuts to well over 10,000. Queenslanders deserve a safe, affordable place to call home, and instead, the LNP’s cuts are forcing rents up, and vulnerable Queenslanders onto the streets.

Instead of delivering homes everyday Queenslanders can afford, they are cutting. When Crisafulli cuts, everyday Queenslanders pay the price.

David Crisafulli wants to cut Queensland’s fair share. The fair share Queenslanders get when big mining companies dig up and sell our state’s resources for huge profits.

Luke put his hand up to represent his community because he cares. He cares about healthcare. He cares about affordability. He cares about the frontline workers like his sister who deserve a government that listens and acts - not one that just talks.
