Criticised the government for rushing through significant Olympic infrastructure amendments without committee scrutiny, particularly provisions bypassing normal planning and heritage laws for the Brisbane Athlete Village, Gabba arena, the Wave transport project, Coomera Connector and other projects.
“These are not insubstantial amendments. There are pages and pages of details, maps and schedules. These are not last-minute amendments. This was always planned.”— 2026-02-12View Hansard
Introduced the bill to cap daily fuel price increases at 5 cents per litre and legislatively protect 50-cent public transport fares, arguing Queenslanders need protection from fuel price gouging and cost-of-living pressures.
“This bill does two clear and practical things. Firstly, it introduces a fairer fuel-pricing framework for Queensland—a framework that puts an end to extreme price spikes and restores basic predictability at the bowser. Secondly, it locks in Labor's 50-cent public transport fares in legislation, ensuring that this proven cost-of-living measure cannot be quietly wound back or cut behind closed doors.”— 2026-02-11View Hansard
