00:00I'm here in Rockhampton, dubbed the Beef Capital of Australia.
00:07State LNP leader David Christopher Lee is campaigning here.
00:10He's announced a $95 million health sciences training facility, if elected, which would
00:16act as a pathway for school students who want to become health practitioners.
00:21Health is one of the key issues he's campaigning on, as well as youth crime and the cost of
00:26living.
00:27It's his second announcement of the day.
00:28He was in Brisbane this morning at an AgForce conference, where he announced a $30 million
00:33agriculture innovation fund, if elected, designed to boost productivity in the sector.
00:39Now here in Rockhampton, it's long been a safe Labor seat.
00:42It even survived the 2012 wipeout when Campbell Newman became Premier.
00:47However, its margin has thinned in recent elections, and its Labor MP, Barry O'Rourke,
00:53is retiring.
00:54Throw into the mix that there's a One Nation supporter base, which is strong here, and
00:58you could see a three-way dogfight very quickly.
