Michael Hodgkins

Michael and his wife of 50 years, Bronwyn, have lived in our diverse and rich region for almost all their lives. From the community towns and farms to the volcanic caves and Great Barrier Reef, Michael knows there is no better place to live than Queensland’s tropical north.

As Festival Director and President of the Tablelands Folk Festival, Michael has vast experience in advancing what the region has to offer. Active local engagement through the arts and community groups, along with being a successful small business owner places Michael in a prime position to inject fresh ideas for tropical industries while understanding the importance tourism plays in supporting local businesses and jobs.

The Electorate of Hill needs a strong and determined advocate to promote all the advantages the area has to offer. Now is the time to change the way we interact with government. A more open and collaborative approach working alongside the Hill community, Michael will advocate to reinvigorate local businesses and get Queenslanders back to work. The continued prosperity of our rural communities, coupled with the ever-increasing tourism sector, is critical to Queensland’s economy. The electorate of Hill is positioned to take advantage of these while exploring new and innovative opportunities.
