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.

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
INDO PACIFIC WRAP UP: Great to see cutting edge Defence technology at the international maritime exposition in Sydney. Australia’s Defence Industry has a lot on offer!
REST IN PEACE: It’s with a heavy heart that we honour Lance Corporal Tulsa Rumney, an Infantry soldier from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, who tragically lost his life in a training accident on the 15th of October.
Leaving this world far too soon, Tulsa will be remembered as a wonderful son, dedicated soldier, a loyal mate, and a proud member of the ‘Old Faithful’ 3RAR family. His service, his spirit, and his sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother. Your duty is done.
Lest We Forget.
