re-elected as the Member for Blair
SHAYNE NEUMANN MP
I am honoured to be re-elected as the Member for Blair.
 
I want to thank the people of Blair – which includes the majority of Ipswich, the Somerset and Karana Downs Regions. I am now the only Labor member who holds a seat in regional and rural Queensland.
 
I had a tougher fight than expected. I had a fight against the Liberal National Party, One Nation, the United Australia Party, Fraser Anning’s Conservative National Party, the Democratic Labour Party and a slew of other right-wing independents.
 
It is clear from this election that Labor needs to listen to Queenslanders.
 
Queensland is the State that delivers Government for Labor. When Labor doesn’t listen to Queenslanders, we fall short.
 
Unless Labor does better in Queensland, we will not form government.
 
I am a proud Queenslander and I am ambitious for Queensland. I am Ipswich born and bred. I grew up in a working class family and we faced many challenges.
 
Ipswich is where Pauline Hanson began her political career – I have been standing up against Hansonism and One Nation since 1996.
 
Labor must listen to and speak with the hard-working and honourable people of Queensland about what is best for their families and their communities. We need to better reconnect with working class and middle Australia.
 
Queenslanders want good jobs with decent wages, a strong safety net and properly funded schools and hospitals. They want a government that works for them and respects their faith and beliefs.
 
I continue to believe that Labor is the best party to deliver for Queenslanders.
