Well it’s the end of another sitting week and I am now back in the electorate to meet with constituents and am looking forward to heading to the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre tonight to see the Watoto children’s choir, which promises to be very inspirational.
I will be collecting the Youth Allowance petitions this week that have gone out all over the electorate as young people take a stand against the governments unfair proposed changes and I encourage everyone who shares their concerns to keep an eye out on my website over the coming weeks to view a speech I will present in parliament on this issue.
My office is busy preparing for a number of visits by Shadow Ministers in the coming weeks including the Shadow Minister for Defence Science & Personnel Bob Baldwin, The Shadow Minister for Immigration & Citizenship Dr Sharman Stone, Opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull and in October - Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce.
If anyone would like more information on these visits or would like help with another matter please don’t hesitate to contact my office on 44 231 782

Autumn is here
It has been a busy start to the year and already the cooler weather is reminding us that autumn is now here. In Canberra this week the morning chill has set in but it hasn’t stopped me from attending early meetings - particularly those I am very passionate about like yesterdays Parliamentary Breakfast on preventing Multiple Sclerosis. The number of people affected by this is alarming as well as the fact that 3 out of every 4 sufferers are women and I will continue to support calls for more research funding to help prevent and cure this debilitating disease.
On a more positive note I have had the pleasure of being part of a number of exciting events in the Shoalhaven in the past week; in particular the opening of Mission Australia’s new Retail Store in Nowra last Friday. I look forward to seeing many young people benefit from the retail experience and training that is offered there and seeing many families have access to low priced, quality goods.
I would like to thank all of the ladies who joined me and some of my staff last week for our Menopause the Musical fundraiser. The turn out was wonderful and a great time was had by all. Keep an eye out on the website for photos from events like this updated regularly in the gallery.
