Mark Boothman MP Blog - Community

This week we celebrate the incredible carers in our community and recognise the important role they play every day. Being a carer is far more than a 9 to 5 job. It can be both physically and emotionally demanding, but it is also one of the most rewarding ways to make a difference in the lives of others.

Great to catch up with Ben, the former Chaplain at Helensvale State School and Helensvale State High School. Ben is continuing his passion for supporting young people and helping them get back on the right track.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our local small businesses. The Helensvale Farmers Market was buzzing with activity this morning. After the market, it was time for some letterbox dropping, and now I’m at my Community Roadside on Reserve Road, Upper Coomera.

Great to catch up with Brad Cooper from Volunteering Gold Coast today. Volunteers are the backbone of our community groups, and we greatly value and recognise the important role they play in strengthening our local community.

We’ve listened to Queenslanders across the State who are fed up with repeat offenders re-offending while out on bail.

That’s why Breach Bail, Go to Jail will be law by the end of the year.
