Glorious day for the Transplant Australia walk around Damian Leeding Park.

Today’s walk was dedicated to Detective Senior Constable Damian Leeding, who was killed in 2011 trying to stop an armed hold-up at Pacific Pines Tavern. Damian’s decision to be an organ donor has given life to others.

We’re making our State’s social housing system fairer by restarting annual rent reviews and eligibility checks.

While tens of thousands of Queenslanders were stuck on the waitlist, the former Labor Government didn’t ask for updated information from almost half of existing social housing tenants.

Some have been earning $200,000 a year but paying less than $200 a week in rent.

Today, our local Gold Coast Coptic Church ( St Mina & St Anthony Church ) Celebrated 17 at Helensvale. Thank you for the invite, Father Michael. Also today, over 100 Northern Gold Coast RSL members attended the annual lunch, a big social event for returned servicemen and women. I spent the rest of the afternoon with the Upper Coomera Lions Club at their Oxenford Sausage Sizzle fundraiser. Top group of volunteers fundraising for childhood cancer research.

Tomorrow, Queenslanders must be understanding and gentle to those who moved north to enjoy warmer winters and a far better lifestyle, especially those delirious individuals who STILL support a state they fled from.
