Jordan
Name: Charis Mullen (incumbent)
Age: 50
Occupation: Member of Parliament
Party: Australian Labor Party
Why should people vote for you?
As an elected Member, I have listened to and prioritised what matters to my community.
I’m proud of my record having delivered a significant number of projects and services for Jordan. This includes $450,000 clubhouse for the Flagstone Tigers, a new $9.6 million Learning Centre at Flagstone State School, a Primary School in Greenbank (Everleigh State School), expanded OSHC at Greenbank State School (Gumnut House), new field lights for Teviot Downs Soccer Club and Middle Green, and delivered a $33.2 million contribution for two new access roads to Flagstone.
The Miles Labor Government is responding to cost of living pressures with a range of measures, including $1,000 off electricity and 20% off rego – massive saving for locals.
Was proud to deliver the first Translink bus service for Greenbank and Flagstone and have just announced an expansion of this service – increasing frequency for weekdays and Saturdays + a new Sunday service.
If re-elected, I have already committed to: Securing the site for a new High School in Greenbank; $500,000 to begin the planning for a new Flagstone Mixed Use Health Precinct; Progress the Salisbury to Beaudesert Rail Line with consultation on the final corridor and station locations to begin next year.
Name: Kevin Burns

Occupation: Freight Driver
Party: LNP for Jordan
Why should people vote for you?
We have a beautiful community in Jordan, and I’ve always wanted to support that.
As my children grew up, I was heavily involved in my community.
I volunteered across many organisations, including as a junior football coach, on the Richlands East Primary PNC and with the Rural Fire Brigade.
In my professional career, I have spent over two decades as a Line Haul driver. Every week, I see accidents along the Bruce Highway, a road that Labor has allowed to become one of the most dangerous in Australia.
Almost 1 in 5 national road deaths occur on the Bruce Highway. Keeping our community safe is government’s first task and this Labor government has failed.
Locally, I also hear from people in Jordan frustrated by the Labor Government’s neglect of infrastructure in our rapidly growing community. We are taking a huge amount of housing, but
Labor isn’t providing the community infrastructure to go with it.
After a decade of Labor’s failures, it’s time for a change. The only way to address these challenges is to change the government in October.
I’m running to earn my community’s trust and show I’m ready to be part of a government with the Right Plan for Queensland’s Future.
Name: Dung Tran
Age: 50
Occupation: community worker
Party: Greens
Why should people vote for you?
Dung founded and runs Our Race Community, a community-based organisation fighting against racism and building social cohesion in our communities.
Dung puts lived experience front and centre and that drives her passion for justice and equality.
Growing up in Ipswich in the 80s and 90s, she saw the impact of racism and the violence it fuelled on her community and how much work it takes to rebuild those connections.
Dung is passionate about creating spaces where people from historically marginalised communities can come together, share our strengths, and collectively ensure that our skills, experiences, and stories remain ours to share, rather than being taken or misused by others.
She wants our community to thrive and for everyone to have everything they need to live a good life.
But right now, so many people in our community are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis — housing is too expensive, and people are having to choose between buying groceries and having a roof over their head. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
