Wow , well done Jess Pugh MP for Mount Ommaney , just shows how hard you work for the community in your electorate!
Locals who know Rosie know what a hardworking and kind person she is. Rosie typifies our small business community and so it means a lot to have her support this election.
“Being an owner operator of a small business, it was comforting to know that our local member Jess Pugh always made herself available to listen.
One particularly occasion, I had an issue during COVID. Jess and I had a meeting, where she made some helpful suggestions from her experience as a local MP and as a former small business manager herself. The advice she provided was valuable and the issue was resolved.
In the many years of knowing Jess, I have personally seen and experienced her genuine care for people. No matter how big or small the issue is, it’s always important to her and followed through.
We are so fortunate to have such a genuine hard working member that cares.”

Jess Pugh MP for Mount Ommaney so every state school children is getting a free lunch everyday of the week??
High food prices are one of the biggest pressures families are facing right now. That means too many kids are going to school hungry. You can’t learn when you’re hungry. That’s why Labor will create a universal school lunch program at State Primary Schools, starting next year, if we’re elected this month. It means every parent will have the choice of a healthy free lunch provided Monday to Friday, saving them an expected $1,600 per child every year. We’re making it universal so that every family benefits – and so that the kids most in needs aren’t stigmatised at school. All the evidence shows that this will be good for kids, good for teachers, and good for parents. This goes to what drives me every single day: doing what matters to improve the lives of everyday Queenslanders. And it just makes sense.
This is great, but I question what assistance is also being put into place in schools to accomodate this? Is the government also going to build bigger tuck shops and provide paid staff, or will food be brought in externally each day/week? I just question it as I know my kids schools tuck shop is already bombarded and they struggle finding volunteers to keep it afloat. Putting in an extra workload to provide food for everyone will only make this much more of a stress for them. So just wondering how exactly it will Work?

When Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation was being debated I met with hundreds of locals who supported the right of terminally ill Queenslanders to end their suffering.
I was proud to support this right and voted for the legislation in 2021. However, most LNP MPs did not. They voted against our Voluntary Assisted Dying laws and they intend to repeal the laws if elected.
Thank you to former LNP Minister Jann Stuckey for drawing attention to this issue and confirming that the LNP oppose you and your loved ones right to access VAD. ... See MoreSee Less

The Libs are nuts and the ppl will almost certainly fall for their lies again. Hopefully we can keep you in your seat Jess!
Its a hard argument to win with some people... the LNP only plans for next month... then we have to vote in adults to fix their mess :/
There have been three big reforms in healthcare that could be overturned by the LNP with Katter and ONP backing, VAD, abortion rights and pill testing. People need to realise that things can go backwards in progressive healthcare.

I was delighted to hear that the Mount Ommaney Probus club have decided to purchase a portable defibrillation device with their recent community gambling fund grant! 💰It got me thinking, we have many publicly accessible devices in our community, but we can always have more! ❤️That's why I've decided to purchase a portable automatic defibrillation device to lend out to community groups as part of my event kit alongside my marquees, raffle barrel, megaphone etc! This will ensure that in the event of a medical emergency at large public events, this life saving device is available to the community- on the go! ... See MoreSee Less
