I welcome Dr Bill Glasson’s decision to stand for preselection for the forthcoming Griffith by-election.
Bill Glasson will be a strong local voice for the people of Griffith in Canberra.
The by-election will be an opportunity for the people of Griffith to vote for a candidate that will support the Government’s plan to build a strong and prosperous economy and a safe and secure Australia.
In particular, it will be an opportunity to vote for a local member who will vote to scrap the carbon tax, reduce electricity prices and ease cost of living pressures.
Bill Glasson campaigned tirelessly as the LNP candidate for Griffith at the last federal election.
He is a true local representative and a distinguished Australian.
Bill Glasson has dedicated himself to representing the people of Griffith with the same enthusiasm, zeal and commitment that he has brought to his distinguished medical career.
I have asked the LNP in Queensland to finalise the preselection process for Griffith as soon as possible.
