Deputy Prime Minister and Nationals leader Michael McCormack has paid tribute to Federal member for Flynn Ken OâDowd for his 10 plus years of service to the region.
When Mr McCormack was in Gladstone this week he thanked Mr OâDowd, stating the pair were elected to Federal Parliament in the 2010 election.
Together they announced $10 million in funding, $5 million to establish a hydrogen knowledge centre in Gladstone and $5 million to beautify Auckland Hill.
After he was born in Gladstone Hospital in 1950, Mr OâDowd went to school at Gladstone, before becoming captain at Rockhampton Grammar while at high school.
