A message from our school zone crossing guards - don't use your mobile phone whilst driving and don't make rude hand signals to the crossing guards when they ask you to stop. They are doing their best to protect everyone's children.

Today's Question On Notice is in regards to Howard's Creek Crossing on Tamborine Oxenford Road.

Today's Question On Notice is to the Minister for Main Roads regarding upgrading M1 Motorway interchange at Ormeau North Exit 45. (The Minister has 30 days to answer the question) In addition, today Premier Palaszczuk refused to answer my Question Without Notice in the Queensland Parliament about the desperate need to upgrade M1 Motorway Exit 49 Pimpama.

Once again I have written to the Minister about safety concerns regarding primary school students crossing Highland Way to access the Highland Reserve State School's rear gate. I totally agree with many residents who have expressed fears an accident involving a child is only a matter of time. We need a crossing guard to be allocated at Highland Way to ensure students cross the road safely.

Congratulations to Madison for winning the 2017 Northern Gold Coast Lions Youth of the year. It was a tough competition with many talented students competing for the top prize.
