“From the very beginning, I was drawn to this role because I deeply understand the importance of this team to all Queenslanders,” Slater stated.
“I’m a proud Queenslander and this team means a lot to me.
“It has been a massive part of my life and I’m extremely grateful to get the opportunity to help other people, not only fulfil their dream, but inspire our state.”
