Congratulations to all the new Aussies at today Citizenship Ceremony at Bundall today. Channel 9’s Bruce Page was todays master of ceremony. We had new citizens from over 40 different countries, not a bad effort.

Highland Reserve State School has selected a dynamic group of leaders this year and I’m sure they will have an exciting 2019. Plus big shout out to Principal O’Brien for a very interesting leadership speech.

Question On Notice to the Minister was about Community Care Houses for Youth Offenders in our suburbs. It is a point of contention for residents who live close by to one and Police will argue it drains their resources. Therefore, how many are there on the Gold Coast...

Don’t forget to support your local small business. Today I visited Spectrum Plants Gold Coast 69 Curren Road Wongawallan, they have a fantastic range of plants ideal for both small and large gardens. Plus these businesses give locals employment opportunities. Every dollar spent locally is returned many times.

Ripper of an afternoon at the Coomera Crushers Rugby Union Club. Looks like it will be another great year for the Crushers with a strong selection of player signing up. The women’s team looks especially good this year. I had to take a picture of Dean from the Crushers, he just loves to get in a photo.
