By 3.30 this afternoon, Anna touched down in Hervey Bay – seat 21 - and was well on track to meet her 30 seats in three days target.

So far today, Anna has talked with locals in the seats of Cairns, Townsville, Burdekin, Mundingburra, Thuringowa, Mackay, Whitsunday, Mirani and Hervey Bay – and the day won’t end there!

In Mackay, Anna offered the Mackay Showgrounds certainty, saying it would remain at its current site for at least three years.

Anna has also committed to a $4 million upgrade of Mackay Police Station if elected on Saturday.

In the electorate of Whitsunday, Anna announced $100,000 in funding to complete an upgrade to the Eimeo Surf Life Saving Club.

“The people in this region want jobs not cuts,” Anna said.

“I’ve got a plan to create 100,000 jobs over the next three years and Mackay- Whitsunday will get its fair share”.
