Member for Oxley, Andrew Stoner, has welcomed news the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing has refused an application for a Beer Wine and Spirits (BWS) outlet in Riverside Drive, Nambucca Heads. 

Mr Stoner said the majority of people were concerned about the social impacts of another packaged liquor outlet in the local community and the location of the proposed BWS near a public park and housing facility.

State Nationals Leader and Member for Oxley Andrew Stoner has questioned Police Minister Michael Daley in State Parliament over his future plans for both the Police Station and the State Emergency Services Headquarters in Gladstone.

Member for Oxley Andrew Stoner MP has welcomed the decision of the Audit Office of New South Wales to review the financial collapse of Aboriginal Connections and NSW Housing's tender selection process.

Mr Stoner's request that the Audit Office undertake an investigation followed the Kempsey-based construction company Aboriginal Connections Pty Ltd going into voluntary liquidation on 10 June 2010. At that time, Aboriginal Connections owed $2.49 million to a number of businesses in NSW, Queensland and Western Australia.
