Time for my daily Community Roadside. Today I’m at Upper Coomera near the community centre.

Busy day hitting the streets meeting locals.

Ideal weather encouraged a good crowd of locals to head out to Birdwings Spring Fair at Guanaba. Narell the co founder of Birdwings has been a passionate advocate for the environmental education for many years. Big credit to her and her team for what they have achieved.

We sometimes forget the dangerous situations our Police regularly deal with and it is with great sadness when we see on the television another officer going about their job will not be coming home to see their family. Police Remembrance day is a special time to remember all those who have paid the ultimate price serving the thin blue line. We are proud of your service to our community.

Speech in parliament last week thanking residents for their kind donations to those affected by the recent fires and the mammoth efforts by our local rural fire brigades. I also tabled the names of all our rural fire brigade volunteers who participated so their names are forever remembered in Hansard.
