Great response for Crime Stoppers outside Woolworth Oxenford. Kay and Ron are the best volunteers an organisation could ever wish for. They are always the first to volunteer. Plus it was good for me to catch up with heaps of locals for the last 4 hours.

Question On Notice asks the Minister about the number of calls for service to Police for hooning offences reported by month and suburb. We have had a large increase in the amount of complaints of hooning activities. Therefore we need additional Police resources to deal with this behaviour.

Delivered Christmas lunch (Roast Turkey Rolls) for our local Police. Christmas Day is a busy day for our Police with a huge amount of calls for service. Please have a wonderful Christmas Day and remember the true meaning of Christmas. I also want to highlight so many amazing locals who have opened their door to others who don’t have family close by and shared their Christmas Day. Truly wonderful. Please have a safe day and remember Christmas isn’t about “me” but it’s about “us”.
