Rob Messenger MP - Welcome
This website provides me with the opportunity to communicate with you, my local constituents and other interested community members.
Hopefully my website will offer you some insight into what I've been up to since the beginning of my election as your Member for Burnett.
I must say it is an honour and a great privilege to be the Member for Burnett.
I have to confess my journey to this historic chamber was not planned. As a child and a teenager playing in the red dirt cane fields of South Kolan, I never harboured dreams of becoming a politician, and I will be the first to admit that I am only standing here before you because of God's grace. Of course he was ably assisted by the good voters of the Burnett, whom I humbly thank.
Please feel free to browse my website, which will be regularly updated to keep you informed of the latest news surrounding the Burnett and state-wide issues. You will see I have had the pleasure of attending a lot of community functions, local schools and charity events.. as well as meeting a variety of Burnett residents!
If you have any feedback or would like to touch base, please feel free to send me through an email or contact my electorate office. Your input will keep me up-to-date on the issues that are important to you and the surrounding community.
I look forward to working with you! And don't forget to get in contact with me through this site if you have any queries or concerns.

“town drain” that: “
there is three mil height difference over a distance of about 3, 000 metres, which is a gradient of about one in a million. A drain at one in a million will not flow because there's a grade there”.

Now I understand why the LNP won't support a Royal Commission

Most loyal LNP supporters would acknowledge that their leader, Campbell Newman, opposes my call for an independent Royal Commission to investigate
Queensland political corruption.
The same LNP supporters would have to acknowledge that while Campbell Newman was Mayor of Brisbane, his council made a number of decisions which significantly advantaged his family business.
