we always have been, but we haven't been getting a fair go in the last seven years.
​
Our health services are grossly inadequate, crime is seriously impacting our quality of life, cost of living is raging out of control, and we need more affordable housing - desperately.
​
Time after time, decisions are made that favour other cities and grow other economies.
​
We have had to fight hard for everything we have won in the last seven years, but the big issues, the game changing issues like cost of living, long term jobs, better health services and working to reduce the serious issue of crime - these are State Government issues.
That is where I need to be.
​
Rockhampton and Gracemere needs a fighter - someone who will go into bat for our communities. Someone who puts Rockhampton and Gracemere first and is above bitter 'big party' politics.
​
I'm asking for your support to take the fight to Brisbane.
I'm MARGARET STRELOW
and this is who I am.

Church Of England Dean, Father Howie said that
Margaret Strelow, in terms of her service to the community and her time as Mayor of Rockhampton, had demonstrated great passion and fierce loyalty to the region.
" She is a proud and strong woman who in her life's journey has risen above the shameful attempts of those who would keep her down."
"She has shown herself to be more than a survivor."
Fr Howie also spoke of her " significant experience in government., her compassion for the marginalized and her advocacy for progressive development in this Region of Central Queensland."

“We absolutely must deliver a similar quality of life to what young
people know they can get in the more urban capitals. Otherwise
we would never keep our kids here and if they go, then the
grandparents follow.”
Why vote for Margaret Strelow INDEPENDENT ?
Independents do politics differently.
​
Rockhampton and Gracemere has seen the worst of what Big Party Politics can do. Now its time to see the very best that collaboration and constructive working across Big Party lines can achieve for Rockhampton and Gracemere.
​
An Independent can call out bad policy and bad decision making and speak the truth about what our community needs.
​
Margaret Strelow will not be stood over by local Party " power brokers"
​
Margaret Strelow is 100 % committed to her community and is only answerable to the Rockhampton and Gracemere communities
