FEDERAL MP for Blair Shayne Neumann is urging residents to get the jab for the good of the country, regardless of his recent criticisms of the Federal Government’s slower than expected rollout of the Covid vaccine.
Mr Neumann said he was concerned by the number of phone calls received by his office from people who had expressed reluctance to be vaccinated due to worries over side effects or, in some cases, conspiracy theories.
He said he had been telling his constituents to go and get the vaccine as soon as they became eligible because the economy was reliant upon Australia ‘defending itself through vaccination.”

Key projects including vital upgrades to the Cunningham Hwy between Yamanto and Ebenezer Creek, a proposed Springfield-Ipswich rail line and upgrades to the North Ipswich Reserve failed to gain a mention in the $1.6 billion spend.
