Subscriber only The Electoral Commission of Queensland has moved to wind up former Whitsunday MP Jason Costigan s North Queensland First party. Mr Costigan founded the party after he was dumped from the LNP in 2019. An ECQ notice gave electors until Monday to outline why the party should not be deregistered. The cancellation of registration is being proposed as the ECQ is satisfied on reasonable grounds that North Queensland First is not a Queensland parliamentary party and does not have at least 500 members who are electors, it said. The party s NQ First website was still active as at Friday.

Subscriber only Whitsunday MP Amanda Camm has labelled the health minister s response to questions about kidney dialysis delivery as inadequate . In a Queensland parliament question on notice to Health Minister Yvette D Ath, Ms Camm asked her to advise the time frame, including expected operational opening, and cost of delivery of Proserpine Hospital s renal dialysis unit. Ms D Ath said increasing the capability of regional kidney services was part of the government s plan. As part of the government s commitment to providing kidney health and care services for Queenslanders, I can confirm that an additional $27.8 million will be invested to establish additional renal dialysis treatment spaces across regional and rural Queensland to provide dialysis closer to home where it is safe to do so, she said.
