Steven Miles Information

Steven and wife Kim are raising their three children Sam, Aidan and Bridie. It was the pending arrival of his first child that led Steven to think more deeply about protecting Queensland's environment, including the Great Barrier Reef, for future generations. He joined Al Gore's Climate Leadership Program to tackle climate change and inspire communities to take action. Sam and Aidan attend a local state school, and Steven will make sure Mount Coot-tha local schools get the funding and resources they need. Together with his cabinet colleagues, Steven is also committed to tackling unemployment through job creation, listening to and acting upon the concerns of Queenslanders, and restoring integrity and accountability to government in Queensland. So far in his term he has legislated to end mining on North Stradbroke Island, tightened laws requiring land rehabilitation, increased funding for koala conservation and protecting wildlife and developed plans to address climate change and protect the Great Barrier Reef.
