The KAP will move a disallowance motion in Parliament to disallow the amended lifejacket regulations due to start on Dec 1. The regs disregard the realities of boating and fishing in NQ. Regs here: parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-the-As… Media release here: nickdametto.com/labors-ghost-r…

The LNP Government's decision to axe the Workforce Attraction Incentive Scheme (WAIS) is shortsighted and untimely. This decision stands to exacerbate the healthcare crisis in rural and regional Queensland even more. nickdametto.com/dametto-critic…

Recent crime has once again thrust Townsville’s youth crime crisis into the spotlight. I’m calling on the LNP Government to act quickly if they are going to address these problems. They made big, bold promises and the community is desperate for reprieve. nickdametto.com/concerns-remai…
