✅ A Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide.
Each and every one of these initiatives is aimed at improving the quality of life for local people and ensuring we’re supporting a better future for our region. Please check out some of our local projects here.

Congratulations to Townsville’s new Mayor Nick Dametto.
Good to catch up over a quiet one at the North Shore Tavern this afternoon, discussing ways we can work together for the betterment of Townsville.
After many years of petty politics causing significant project backlogs, I’m looking forward to working with leadership that’s ready to get on with the job of putting the future of Townsville first.
How good is McHappy Day! I got to serve some customers going through the drive-thru and raise some money for an amazing local charity who gives families with sick children a place to stay, right next to the hospital, Ronald McDonald House Charities North Australia. Thank you to all those who have donated and I’m sorry to those who got the Big Macs I made, I tried.
I’ll never forget where I came from. To my brothers!

REMEMBRANCE DAY: An emotional service today as I laid a wreath along side Kristen Rumney, the mother of Tulsa who tragically lost his life in a training accident last month.
Today we reflect and honour those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, killed on operations, died in training and those who have succumb to their war within on home soil.
I WILL NEVER FORGET
