State Government Election 2024
I’m Humphrey Caspersz your Labor candidate for Glass House. My wife Tam and I live in Mt Mee with our four children aged between 7 and 17. Tam is a registered nurse working at the Caboolture hospital. I’m a senior technician in the manufacturing industry servicing critical equipment for companies, small businesses and produce growers.
It’s one of the things I love about my job is to visit so many wonderful small businesses in our local area and see how the Miles Labor Government is doing what matters for them. We are so fortunate raising our families here in the most beautiful part of the world in Glass House. That’s why I put my hand up to be part of new Premier Steven Miles and his Labor team to continue to deliver for the Sunshine Coast much needed services and infrastructure.
I have seen our community neglected under the LNP so I want to be a strong voice in parliament to fight for what we need and deserve here in Glass House. I want to see the Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast get the services and investment in infrastructure they deserve because I know how important access to health, education and secure jobs are to local families. Election Pitch As a tradesperson, I want to work with new Premier Steven Miles in delivering free TAFE as well as $1000 off tools for first year apprentices – all great initiatives by Labor to upskill young Queenslanders and deliver well paid and secure jobs for Sunshine Coast locals.
Glass House is such a big electorate; it’s important families in our community receive world class health services closer to home. And thanks to the Miles Labor Government they can with the newly renovated Nambour hospital, and the newly renovated Caboolture hospital. The Caboolture Satellite hospital is up and running and a re-elected Miles government will also build a Satellite hospital on the Sunshine Coast.
With four kids at state schools, I know how important good local schools are. Only Labor is making record investments in education and teachers and delivering Free Kindy to our community. And as a father of four, I also know a thing or two about cost-of-living pressures. Like $1000 of my electricity bill, 20% of rego, 50c public transport – what will be permanent if Labor is elected in October – and cheaper fuel are all ways we are making it easier on local families. These cost-of-living measures are all ways Labor is doing what matters for Queensland.
Commitments like the Sunshine Coast Satellite Hospital are real game changers for the regions showing firsthand how new Premier Steven Miles and the Labor Government is doing what matters for the health and wellbeing of our local community.
The Miles Labor Government has delivered more hospital beds, including the redeveloped Nambour hospital, and a new crisis support space at Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
All of this is at risk under the LNP who have no plan, and no vision for the Sunshine Coast.
