Our new Liberal member is still pushing nuclear (and gas) despite it costing hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars, delivering higher energy bills and being completely inappropriate for our region. 🤯

Japan makes more money from our offshore gas than we do 🤯🫠

Lest we Forget. ANZAC Day is very important to my family, my grandfather was awarded the military cross for bravery in WWII in the 2/11 Field regiment. He marched every year on ANZAC day, it was the most important day of the year for him. Today, I honour his memory & all who fought for our freedom.

Finally, after over 20 years of ignoring our electorate, the Liberal Party have today announced 10 million dollars for the Phillip Island pool!
Now I absolutely welcome this funding announcement - but we actually need $100m not $10m.

We had 50 x volunteer door knockers out in WARRAGUL, INVERLOCH, MOE, LEONGATHA and COWES this weekend!!
They were asking the people of Monash what was important to them. This feedback gets passed back to Deb so she can best represent the community here- not a party.
Volunteers are the best 💕

We had stacks of great conversations at the Warragul Agricultural Show. Going through all the surveys, it’s clear that locals are fed up with the state of the roads, are more than ready for the ‘promised’ hospital and are struggling with the state of the NDIS.
