About Ross

I have been a resident of the electorate of Bonner for over 30 years and have seen the tremendous growth and development of this most unique area of Brisbane. I am very proud to have been the first Member for Bonner from 2004-2007 and I am honoured to once again be representing this community.

Prior to entering Parliament, I graduated from Griffith University with a Bachelor of Commerce and went on to gain extensive experience in the small business industry.  I owned and managed a chain of highly successful restaurants – I have a passion for people and a practical understanding of small business. From this experience, I understand very well that excessive bureaucracy and red tape are not practical solutions to the challenges faced by business and society.

Standing up for the aspirations of all Queenslanders in the electorate of Bonner is a value that I learnt from my parents and grandparents who were active in working in our local community. From that perspective, I am committed to being part of a Coalition that demands fiscal restraint and responsibility, and will hold this Government to account for every dollar of taxpayer’s money it spends. This is my firm commitment to the residents of Bonner in order to ensure that their experience, their values and their aspirations are represented in Canberra.
