Widespread Flynn files its first candidate
THE Australian Labor Party is the first to name a candidate for the new federal seat of Flynn.
Encompassing a vast area from Gladstone on the coast to Winton in the West, Jennifer Algie of Murgon in the south east believes she has got the goods to best represent this incredibly diverse electorate.
While Mrs Algie has spent the best part of her life in the port town of Gladstone, she has yet to visit the Central West.
"My plan for the campaign would be to visit Longreach, Barcaldine and Winton as early as I can to establish contact and to see what issues are relevant," the mother of two said.
"I think it is important that the elected member doesn’t isolate themselves to the coastal area."
Mrs Algie has pledged to establish a regional office in either Longreach or Barcaldine if she is successful at next year’s federal election.
"The area covered by Flynn is geographically and demographically diverse. The elected member will be serving two sectors of the community.
"Gladstone is a regional, populous and industrious city, its needs are quite different to the needs of Longreach.
"When you talk about regional development in Gladstone you are really talking about creating bigger and better industries, whereas when regional development is spoken about in the bush, it’s about survival and creating viable economies."
In line with Labor party ideals, Mrs Algie has a passion for worker’s rights and believes, with life experience behind her, she can tackle the contrasting needs of the people of Flynn.
"I have worked in a lot of different areas across Queensland, including my own physiotherapy private practice.
"A huge part of my life is dealing with a working family – especially day-to-day things like health care, education and child care.
"I am also an advocate for creating favourable industrial and working conditions for the worker.
"I have the ability to understand what people are going through because we are a working family – we deal with the issues faced by the people of Flynn."
Labor party leader Kim Beazley has welcomed the preselection of Mrs Algie, citing her "strong voice" as her biggest selling point.
"She will be campaigning heavily on the issues of industrial relations and services to one of the fastest growing areas in Queensland," Mr Beazley said.
"Queensland is a key election battleground and we’ll contest it vigorously.
"We are ready and determined to get out there and earn the support of the Flynn community."

I really, really like Gladstone physiotherapist. Cited by many as the single most important influence on post modern micro eco compartmentalism, several of todays most brilliant minds seem incapable of recognising its increasing relevance to understanding future generations. Inevitably Gladstone physiotherapist is often misunderstood by those most reliant on technology, whom I can say no more about due to legal restrictions.
