A few weeks ago I met up with One Nation’s Condamine candidate for the upcoming Queensland election Greg Priebe. It’s time for a new start and to get rid of the Liberal/National/Labor monopoly in Queensland politics.
Greg will put the residents of Condamine and Queensland first.Greg’s family history in Condamine can be traced back to his great-great-grandfather and family arriving in 1864. Since those beginnings, each generation has worked and committed to this great country and electorate.
A proud family history of serving in the Australian Defence Force, local business, and grain and cattle production on prime agricultural land in the Moola district, the Priebe history is rich and relevant to the drive behind Greg’s commitment to Condamine and this election.
Just like his forebears, Greg shows the same hard work ethic, tenacity and resilience that have made him successful today. Happily married with 3 children, Greg and his wife Tracy have the family home in the outskirts of Oakey and are proud to be part of the community.
Greg has the high-level education and multi-industry experience that allows him to connect with a wide range of people in the region. From his rural background, agribusiness and education expertise, Greg is keen to listen and work hard for people to make this region a showpiece for Queensland.
Greg is all too aware of the growing hardships facing everyday Australians – insecurity in business and employment, profits and assets going overseas, soaring costs of living and much more – all making life harder for you. Meanwhile the major political parties continue to put you last.

Okay, I’m here in Oakey with Greg Priebe, who’s our Condamine state electorate candidate for One Nation. Tell us, mate, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Well, I’m local, I’m from this Condamine region, I grew up on a property north of here and I’ve spent all my life with agriculture, with a property. I decided to sort of stick my hand up for One Nation
Good!
Because I think there’s lots of different issues here that simply aren’t being touched.
What are some of the issues locally that affect people?
I think the big issues here are the lack of support for agriculture is one, and that’s a real big one.
That’s both LNP and labor.
Yeah, definitely.
Both learning agriculture.
Yeah, dropped the ball there. Around water in Queensland.
Yep.
Also there’s been, you know, a lot of problems here around the Acland mine, with support with that, dropping conditions in healthcare, lack of resourcing for policing. There’s huge issues within education. And basically I think people have just absolutely had enough and are looking for a good conservative alternative.
You were in the LNP, you’re actually a member of the LNP.
Yeah, I was.
And you left in disgust. Why One Nation?
Well because they seem to be the true conservative voice for Australia. We listened every week to what is happening in Canberra, you know, and in Brisbane. And we see the LNP every time dropping the ball. Right now is the time to step up.
Okay, thank you.
We’re at the juncture, we we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to stop this, this lack of power or this lack of voice that we have out here.
The way I put it, Greg, is that it’s very simple. The tired old parties, the labour party and the liberal party, believe that people work for government.
Yeah.
You listen to people, you watch people’s actions more than what they say, and that’s what they’re saying. That’s what they’re actually meaning, people work for the government. We think it’s government works for the people. Governments serve the people.
Yeah.
So what we’d expect, if you’re elected, is for you to listen a lot. That’s what Pauline and I do a hell of a lot of.
Yeah.
Listen to understand the issues. You obviously are aware of the issues locally, but keep listening and then also stand up and speak out on behalf of the people. Cause that’s what you’re there for. You’re their representative, you’re there to do their will. So Greg Priebe from Condamine. Let’s give him number one preference, and number one vote in the coming state election.
Right, thank you.
