Serving Our Community
Together with our community, we’ve been working to secure our economic recovery, support jobs and help locals get ahead.
Through our local advocacy, we’ve been able to deliver on our local plan in Herbert, including:
✅ Ensuring an expansion of flood recovery payments to include all Townsville suburbs
✅ Establishing the reinsurance pool to bring down insurance premiums
✅ Delivering a new ward at the Townsville University Hospital
✅ Funding a new youth precinct to get young people off our streets, and
✅ 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.
As your Federal Member I am always here to help. If there’s ever anything I can do, please don’t hesitate to get in touch on the phone, on Facebook or by email.
While you’re here, please take a minute to have your say, and let me know what’s important to you and your family.

Run Army Australia is an exciting initiative that promotes resilience, health and wellbeing across the community. It is an honour to handout medals and cheer on those who take part. Funds raised from Run Army will go charities that support those who serve and their families who stand beside them.
Hekmatullah killed Australian soldiers and was found guilty in an Afghan court where he was sentenced, and somehow was released. The Labor Government has given more than $300 million to Afghanistan run by the Taliban. We need Anthony Albanese to demand Hekmatullah to be arrested and to serve his sentence.
HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY RiRi! My little girl is growing up so fast! RiRi loves eating lots of cake, playing with new toys, winning pass the parcel but, her favourite part of her birthday is anything with Emma Watkins and The Wiggles on it. Love you Emery ❤️
OUT OF TOUCH: Anthony Albanese and his Labor Government are spending $20 million of your money to tell you to take heavy items out of your car, pump your tyres up & drive less. We need a government that does its job & makes sure we are supplied with petrol & diesel, the fuel we need and rely on. Lecturing families, truckies and tradies from Canberra about how to drive is patronising & does nothing to fix Australia’s fuel security problem. We need action!
