The race for the #QLDElection2020 finish line is on, with tomorrow being Election Day. If you’re a late starter, and are heading to the polls tomorrow, here’s a few key tips to bear in mind.

We chat with Cynthia Lui of the ALP today, incumbent Member for the Cook electorate. Cynthia was inspired to join the political world because grown up in the northernmost region of Australia, she was acutely aware of the tyranny of distance for people in remote and regional communities. Cynthia has devoted her life and career to help closing the gap between the regions. She describes one of the most rewarding things about being the Member for Cook is that she has played a role in achieving greater outcomes in health and educational services to all communities in Cook, including those in the more remote areas.
