In this Address in Reply, I pay tribute to my late friend and campaign chair, Adrian Shepley, a true champion of our community. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to the people of Lockyer for again placing their trust in me. Our region, rich in agricultural heritage and resilience, continues to grow and thrive, and I remain committed to preserving its unique character. In government, we are delivering the fresh start Queenslanders voted for: improving health care, tackling youth crime with a clear, three-pillared plan, and investing in infrastructure. I’m proud of our partnerships across all levels of government and of the dedicated volunteers and staff who support my work. True progress comes from trust, accountability, and integrity. I will continue to work every day to serve the people of Lockyer with honour and commitment.

It’s a privilege to speak in support of making Jack’s Law permanent and to acknowledge Brett and Belinda Beasley, who’ve turned unimaginable tragedy into a powerful legacy for their son, Jack. Their work through the Jack Beasley Foundation is saving lives, raising awareness, and making a real difference. The success of wanding operations shows this law works—over 115,000 people scanned, with barely any complaints. It's a simple, effective tool that gives police certainty and protects lives. I also want to highlight the importance of parole reform, particularly in addressing domestic violence. I’m proud to be part of a government restoring community safety and backing our frontline workers.
