Dudley is an amazing man. He is not only one of the faces of 2014 and 2015 Queensland Seniors Week, he is a WWII Veteran, has a cheeky sense of humour, is a mad fan for cricket and an avid cyclist in his youth.
OTA Queensland, the seniors peak body, has called on the newly elected Government to honour older Queenslanders with practical support.
"All Members of Parliament need to represent the older people in their electorates who are doing it tough," said COTA Queensland Chief Executive, Mark Tucker-Evans
A pre-election COTA Queensland survey of 128 older residents conducted in November and December 2014 identified three recurring concerns - health, cost of living, and transport.
