Our under 14 Brisbane Capitals girls are heading to Perth for Nationals!!! 🏀

But Perth is a long and expensive way away, so they’re going to need our help to get them there.

I’ve been sitting here for an hour trying to work out how to describe Greg Moran.

Yesterday Greg received his life membership of the Labor Party, and I can think of anyone more deserving.

I met Greg early on in my campaign. He doesn’t suffer fools, has a keen bu****it detector, but an unwavering sense of justice and equality.

His focus on delivering for the working class is one of the strongest I’ve seen, with an ability to cut through the crap and being every policy back to the people.

He’s had an incredible impact on me. Emboldening me to be true to my moral compass, reminding me that he and others will be there alongside me.

Congratulations Greg. Here’s to many more cunning plans and adventures.

It’s been a decade since medicinal cannabis was decriminalized, and many Queenslanders experiencing chronic pain have turned to this particular medication to manage their symptoms.

But our drug-driving laws haven’t changed to accommodate this, resulting in patients being unable to legally drive.

As Queensland embarks on its most recent drug-driving reform it’s timely to take a look at the proposed legislation, consider what other jurisdictions are doing and ask ourselves – how do we prioritise road safety and restore independence to patients.

Join me, and a couple of fascinating speakers for a supper and panel discussion in Milton.

Date: 14th September
Time: 6.00-7.30pm
Location: Milton Anglican Parish,
3 Chippendall Street, Milton

After 24 years of looking after The Gap community, Ian from Heel and Sole Man has made the difficult decision to reduce his workload as he focuses on his health.

Ian has helped me out on a number of occasions. Restoring my heels and helping me reduce landfill. I’ll have to find someone else now!

Thank you, Ian, for everything you have contributed to The Gap Village community over the years.

During book week it’s wonderful to showcase Queensland Parliament's first picture book.

Kirra and the Statue, celebrates active citizenship and the power of speaking up to shape a fairer future.

Inspired by a real young changemaker, this story shows how one small person can bring about positive change.

I’ll be dropping some copies off at our primary schools next week 📚

While Brisbane slept, the Queensland government rushed through its Critical Minerals Bill.

But this Bill isn’t about critical minerals…

Rather it will give the Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie unilateral powers to approve major projects. And if that project happens to go through your land… the state can compulsorily acquire it.

Grab a tea and settle in for my update on how this could impact the future of MtCoot-Tha.

Vale Dolly Parton.

I grew up watching mum dance around the house to 9 to 5, and often found myself screaming the lyrics to Lucille at a party as a teen.

Eternally optimistic, a woman who boldly took up space and then created it for others. A philanthropist, an educator, a reformer.

An incredible loss.
