As the member for one of the largest electorates in Queensland, Jason O'Brien knows what it takes to be an effective, hard working representative.
Before being elected to Parliament in 2004, he was a Cairns City Councillor and previously a research officer to the former member, Steve Bredhauer.
At various times Jason has worked as an electrician, taxi driver, administrator and bar manager. He was educated at Saint Augustines College in Cairns and James Cook University where he was awarded the prestigious Convocation Medal in 1993.
Jason understands that people want the Government to focus on providing infrastructure and services, especially in the areas of health, education, transport and housing.
He strongly believes that Queenslanders have a unique lifestyle in a superb environment and is committed to the preservation and enhancement of our natural areas.
Jason wants to see a Queensland; where the environment is protected and valued, that is reconciled with its indigenous peoples, where economic growth is sustainable and assists local people, and where access to justice is readily available.
Jason is involved in a number of community organisations, with a particular focus on youth services, and referees senior and junior rugby union.
He is married with one son.
