Imagine your daughter not being allowed to go to school?
For millions of girls in Afghanistan, education has not simply been disrupted. It has been deliberately removed.
Classrooms are closed to them, pathways to learning are blocked and the future is placed on pause. But learning has not disappeared.
Last night, I was proud to support the official launch of Unite for HER - a Queensland organisation established to create connections for girls and young women in Afghanistan to continue their learning through online support and encouragement.
Congratulation to the incredible Mahnaz Abbasi and her dedicated team on the important work they are doing to bring hope to these young girls and ensure exclusion does not become silence. ... See MoreSee Less

Pongal is an important Tamil harvest festival representing prosperity, gratitude and hope.š±š¼š
This is actually the 8th Pongal Festival that I have celebrated with our wonderful Tamil community and every year I learn something new about their beautiful and vibrant culture.
Thank you to Queensland Tamil Mandram and Thaai Tamil School Inc for once again organising this terrific event for everyone.

T-Minus 7 days until Valentine's! šš¹š
Kiranjeet and her beautiful family operate Greenbank fresh flowers, and they've got everything you might need to impress your loved one this Feb 14th. š
I was so excited to drop in to their shop and see the gorgeous bouquets they have on offer (at incredibly reasonable prices!) and very grateful for their warm hospitality.
Unfortunately, over the harsh summer months they can't do all of their growing on site in Greenbank, but they certainly keep their Greenbank shop stocked with stunning arrangements!

How amazing is this... 9 year old Aryan from #AugustineHeights is aiming to swim šš½āāļø 10km this month to help raise money for the šStarlight Children's Foundation.
In lieu of having a birthday party, he will be focusing on raising funds for seriously sick children. This is his second year doing so, and his goal is to beat last year's record of $1,500 raised.
If this has warmed your heart like it has mine, please consider supporting his efforts, if you can, using the link below.

In a win for Queenslanders, today we pressured the Crisafulli LNP Government to deliver free flu vaccinations in 2026.
Last year was the worst flu season in a decade with more than 95,000 confirmed cases sadly leading to 289 deaths.
That's not just a number - that was someone's mum, dad, sister, brother or friend.
We need strong and responsible leadership on vaccinations - not the mixed messages we got in Queensland last year.

Keep up the good work, Charis Mullen MP! I was also shocked to realise, last year, that so many people, even those undergoing cancer treatment and therefore at high risk and not at all opposed to vaccines, did not realise that Covid vaccinations “were still a thing”, until I mentioned getting mine. š³ Even doctors were surprised I’d had seven, I think. š³ I just rock up every time I’m eligible for something. I’m getting older and want to do what I can to protect myself, my patients and my community. I respect the views of those who do not wish to be vaccinated, but vaccines should be available, accessible and affordable, ideally free, for anyone who wishes to have them! As we are seeing here and elsewhere, it’s the most important public health measure we have when it comes to infectious disease. Thanks again for raising awareness and keeping up the pressure for free vaccines. šš»šš»
free for everyone?
Didn't we have free flu vaccines last year?

Charis Mullen MP sorry to crash this post . I am very concerned with the school bus situation in Greenbank at the moment . Friday - today 20 kids not picked up on first run . The bus had to return . School busses not turning up on time , or at all in some cases . Emmaus college bus - the threat of the bus been taken away at the end of term 1 due to funding . This is so concerning and frightening that in 2026 we can’t even trust a bus system to turn up ??? What can be done to fix this ? This requires immediate action please . Thank you for reading Sarah Steele Avril Marie Radford
Fix the parking on james josey. You could easily do a cut out parking bay by modify the footpath and allow the traffic to flow again and be a dual passing street. Its pathetic to think we have lived in springfield Lakes for 10 years and have spoke with councillors mayors and every department and its blame game cant be done no action to fix issue other than paint a yellow line on road. Ipswich city council wont even fine the illegally parked cars its pathetic
Charis Mullen MP parking is normally full of a morning. But that sideshow atm we need railline built out completely and express services to the city and back

I was very excited to catch up with Beyond DV Founder, Carolyn Robinson and General Manager Janine McConnell to discuss the upcoming opening of a HOPE Hub at Orion Springfield Central. š
The HOPE Hub model is unique - providing a safe, highly accessible space where community members can be supported for domestic and family violence (DFV) related matters, seven days a week, by dedicated, trained staff.
Modelled on the highly successful Hope Hub at Carindale Shopping Centre, this service will help those who are seeking information, warm referrals to other services and long-term recovery support for DFV.
Thank you to Mirvac who operate Orion Springfield Central for housing the HOPE Hub and I'm looking forward to working closely with the Beyond DV team as they establish in our local community. ... See MoreSee Less

When will it be opening ?
My daughter and her friends always talk about having a youth centre somewhere they can go in the afternoons yet they sit in their rooms or down at Orion. We need something like this in Springfield! Such a big population here and Redbank it would be a good place for these teenagers

They also run the very successful Springfield Jobs portal which specifically focusses on local jobs in our region: www.springfieldjobs.com.au/
