We are just weeks away from opening the Gold Coast’s first Youth Foyer at Southport. Great to catch up with Maria Leebeek from GC Youth Service. 40 purpose built apartments for young people who are keen to finish school, do a trade or go to Uni.

This morning I asked the Health Minister how many elective surgeries have been cancelled during Code 11 Yellow emergencies! At first she indicated she would provide the information but then said “No”. Why doesn’t the government want us to know what’s happening with waiting lists?

24 hours after Health Min Yvette D'Ath MP promised an answer and 🦗🦗🦗   Queenslanders deserve the know the truth: @QldLabor is losing control of the health system   #Qldpol

Stop blaming Canberra. Stop blaming COVID. Stop blaming culture. Start listening to our health professionals and start fixing our hospitals.

Australia is charting a pathway out of COVID-19 that will get us to the other side and see life gradually return to normal. A four-phase plan was agreed in principle at today’s National Cabinet by all the states and territories. Read more: pm.gov.au/media/national…

We want redemption tonight. First game ever was right here against the Dragons in 2007, sadly we lost 18 - 20. Looking for the magic NRL Magic Round 2022 #nrl #NRLMagicRound

You, Our Queen have been a constant in this rapidly changing world, you have ruled with wisdom and power, your steadfast faith and values have been an example and inspiration. Your enduring presence has provided us with certainty and hope. You will be missed.

Today we delivered gifts, clothing, pyjamas, toiletries, toys and iPads to the my local Child Safety office. This is our tenth year and we’ve raised more than $50000 for the purchase of gifts foster kids here on the Gold Coast. Thanks all for the support.

I’m deeply saddened by the news a firefighter, injured while fighting a blaze in Brisbane, has died from her injuries. Our emergency service workers face extraordinary danger everyday to keep us safe and for that Queenslanders will always be eternally grateful.

Mobile Office this morning @southportparksc #1 issue today “youth crime” people are really worried about safety in their own homes.

Vaping, no vaping! Today the Qld Parliamentary Health committee heard evidence from Queensland Health about vaping proposals and legislation. Given almost 90% of vapes tested are found to be illegal should they be banned?

It was a pleasure to catch up@with Lucy from Penguin Ed, Coaching for Parents. Parenting is challenging, even more challenging after separation or during transition. Penguin Parenting Coaching penguined.com.au #seperation #divorce #parenting #parentcoaching

Each year since first elected, it’s been my practice to host a “Kids” Christmas Lunch. Proceeds are used to purchase Christmas gifts for “Kids in Care” Pyjamas to PC’s, iPads, school supplies, clothing, groceries, games and gift cards. Contact my office for details. +61756001100

Last week at our annual Kids in Care Christmas Lunch we raised enough to provide a stack of gifts for Kids in Care and had a little left over for Fairy Bread Day in support of The Pyjama Foundation. Help spread some love and “sprinkles”. fundraise.thepyjamafoundation.com/christmas-appe…

The Qld Health Amendment Bill looks at opening up prescribing of MS2step the drug which aids in early termination of pregnancies. AMAQueensland QNMU Cherish Life ACM, ACN and other submitters raised concerns about patient safety & labour force challenges.

Union officials have been caught red-handed impersonating other parties in an underhanded attempt to fool voters to boost Labor’s vote. Steven Miles thinks he can trick Queenslanders into voting for him. Labor’s disgraceful and undemocratic actions must be called-out. #qldpol

Buddy dropped by this morning while we were out doorknocking in Benowa. I’m pretty sure if he could vote for me he would. Mum assured me she would be voting for the LNP and our right priorities for Queensland’s Future.

This data is yet another example of the desperate attempts from the previous Labor Government to hide the truth from Queenslanders. While youth criminals were rummaging through Queenslanders’ homes, Labor’s priority was lying about how bad Labor’s youth crime crisis had become.

Too little too late. The QFCC report has left Labor’s Residential Care roadmap in tatters. The LNP Government has committed to the most comprehensive child protection plan this state has ever embarked upon and next week I’ll canvass these issues at a residential care forum.
