Samuel Beaton is a contract tradesman committed to representing the people of his constituency with honour and integrity. Born in South Africa, he led a disciplined life in boarding school and the military before immigrating to Australia in 1997 and becoming a citizen two years later. With extensive experience as a FIFO worker across Australia, he understands the value of hard work and has a strong grasp of the renewables, mining, oil and gas sectors.

Sam has lived in Pumicestone for a number of years and has grown to love his home, the people and the area. He feels strongly that recent decisions by major parties have harmed hard-working Australians, especially in the Caboolture, Bribie, Ningi, Donnybrook, Beachmere and Toorbul areas. His motto, "Pumicestone comes first," reflects his commitment to prioritising local needs over broader political agendas.

Sam is particularly concerned about youth crime in Pumicestone and Queensland. He believes the current judicial system's lenient approach has contributed to a rise in delinquency and advocates for stricter consequences for young offenders. Sam emphasises the need for more police and effective strategies to address this issue, arguing that "adult crime requires adult time."

In politics, Sam will advocate for transparency, open government and infrastructure planning that benefits the community. He calls for prioritising Australia's needs over foreign interests and believes tax dollars should be spent on Australians first. Motivated by the struggles of everyday people, Sam aims to keep major parties honest and support hard-working Australians in Pumicestone with the help of the electorate.
