Carolyn Male MP, State Member for Pine Rivers, would like to make people aware that the Bligh Government has released a Discussion Paper to seek the views of Queensland Seniors for a new seniors strategy and action plan.

“The Bligh Government wants to see action on a statewide strategy for seniors. We want to support seniors so they can continue to enrich their own lives and the lives of everyday Queenslanders,” Carolyn Male MP said.

“The experience and wisdom of seniors has helped shape Queensland. It’s partly because of their dedication and drive that we’re in such great shape today and in tough economic times their contribution is more important than ever before.”

“We want to hear their views and ideas on issues such as health, housing, urban design and transport.”

Carolyn Male MP said the Discussion Paper would be open for consultation until 4 December.
