The pressure of a growing population on our struggling infrastructure means I must fight to be at the forefront of change, pushing the Government to meet our needs before it is too late.
We need better public transport, safer roads and well-resourced schools. The Sunshine Coast is the second fastest growing region in Queensland and we will be supporting 470,000 people by 2036. We must plan for more schools, more jobs, equitable access to health care, and make sure our neighbourhoods are safe.
Will you join the conversation and work with me to make a better Buderim Electorate? I will try to make it easier for you to share your thoughts by doorknocking and by hosting mobile offices throughout the electorate.
You may also choose to follow me on Facebook, complete my 30 second survey, sign up to receive my e-newsletter, or simply call my office and have a chat.
I am proud to be a member of David Crisafulli’s LNP team, and together we are committed to securing Queensland’s future.

Before Dr Ashlee Good moved to Sydney and started her family, she worked as an osteopath in Buderim.
Ash was violently and senselessly killed at Bondi Junction a week ago, and used her dying moments to save her baby daughter.
I’m encouraging the Sunshine Coast community to get behind a Go Fund Me page set up in her name. www.gofundme.com/f/Ash-Good ... See MoreSee Less

FLASHBACK FRIDAY 📷
The Buderim to Palmwoods Tramway was officially opened in 1915 and operated until 1935. Only two steam engines ever worked the line - a Krauss (pictured) and a Shay.
The Buderim - Palmwoods Heritage Tramway Inc. volunteers have worked hard to obtain and restore the old Krauss, with plans to display it in the heart of Buderim. ... See MoreSee Less

Our community is fed up. Another week of local homes broken into and tradies losing their way to earn a living. Enough is enough.
The Labor State Government does not take the Youth Crime Crisis seriously. That was made clear in Parliament this week.
If elected in October, the LNP will:
✅ Strengthen laws and remove detention as a last resort from the Youth Justice Act.
✅ Put victims’ rights first.
✅ Provide gold standard early intervention.
✅ Put more police on the front line. ... See MoreSee Less

In the dead of night the Palasczuk-Miles Government walked away from seeking genuine solutions to fix the Queensland Youth Crime Crisis.
They don't take youth crime seriously. They’ve given up on tackling the Youth Crime Crisis. ... See MoreSee Less

It was great to see some of the Sunshine Coast Lightning at Parliament House this week to help launch the 2024 netball season.
The Lightning are off to a ripper start after a convincing win in Round One at the University of the Sunshine Coast arena last weekend. I'm looking forward to taking my family to a few games this season.

Thank you, Brent Mickelberg MP - Member for Buderim! We are thankful for your work on the committee and asking relevant and necessary questions during the hearings. We are so pleased that there will be proper consultation going forward. The Department of Education has emailed families this afternoon advising that the guiding principle "enshrining the best interests of the child in regards to Home Education" is remaining in the Bill to push through. This may be an error as they've had trouble listening before. But if it is true, there are many of us concerned as to why this hasn't been removed since it specifically also pertains to homeschooling. We will watch and see what the next few days brings! #free2homeschool
You were amazing on the committee - asking the right questions at the right time Brent. Thank you. We appreciate you.
Thank you for your support of homeschooling families! While watching the committee hearings, it was great to hear someone in our corner!
Thank you so much once again, Brent! 🙏❤️ We are truly appreciative of your support, and thrilled to hear that the bill is currently on pause. Looking forward to the future consultations and formation of the QLD Home-School Advisory Board, which will hopefully include some of our key homeschooling parent advocates, Rose P. Fitz and Amanda Bartle. Hopefully the homeschooling community will also be consulted in the advisory board selection process. Sincerest thanks once again. 🎉👍
Yet the highly contentious Section 7 which refers to home education needing to be in the best interests of the child will be "enshrined" in the legislation. DoE reps have said there will be no test of this and it is only a 'lens'. So why legislate what should be a core value of society and common decency? There is a huge amount of concern regarding this clause as it is so subjective and undermines the rights of a parent to be the peak authority in their child's life. The homeschooling community welcomes genuine consultation in order to ascertain the path forward to outcomes that are in fact in our children's best interests.
Thanks Brent for listening to our concerns and asking some good questions in the committee hearings. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your support of homeschooling families, it means a great deal to us that we weren't ignored and that the bill was largely overturned #free2homeschool
The home education community is grateful for your support. Thank you for listening and asking questions on our community’s behalf at the Committee hearings. It is important that law changes come from a place of understanding and reality, and not misconceptions.
Thanks Brent Mickelberg MP - Member for Buderim for taking the time to read our submissions and learn about this flourishing homeschool community! We are incredibly grateful that you have allowed us the time to explain why our child-centred learning approach IS the high quality education they deserve! We would love to hear more from your party to assure us of your support if elected later in the year. For now, thank you so much! You have represented our needs well in your participation in this committee. #free2homeschool
