Kicking off this year’s Queensland Youth Week with a bunch of fantastic young people.

For the last three weekends they have been participating in the ‘Closing the Gap’ workshop at the Translational Research Institute.

The brainchild of Dr Joseph Yunis, this workshop is aimed at inspiring high school students from migrant and refugee backgrounds to consider a future in STEM.

Thank you to the Yunis Abusodur Organisation Inc for their support and commitment to this terrific program.

Jimmy Sullivan was not only my Parliamentary colleague - he was my dear friend.

I am deeply saddened by his death and I mourn with all who loved him.

Today our hearts are broken - for him, for his family and for what could have been. ♥️ ... See MoreSee Less

The message is clear: you have rights at work, no matter where you come from or your visa status.

Sadly, not every employer is doing the right thing by their workers which is why Queensland Migrant WorkWise is so important!

This incredible team is out every day ensuring migrant workers on temporary visas and international students understand their working rights and visa protections.

In only a few months, they have reached thousands of workers in Queensland showing just how vital their work is. 💪 ... See MoreSee Less

**CAMIRA RECREATIONAL RESERVE**

On behalf of concerned residents, I've been trying to find out what Ipswich City Council is doing in relation to the #Camira Recreational Reserve.

In 2022, locals petitioned the Council for alterations to the existing leash free dog park.

At the time, Council indicated they would be undertaking further planning, including community engagement to seek the sentiment of sport and recreation needs of the community.

In Nov 2025, frustrated locals went to the local paper about the issue and again the response was that Council will undertake planning and community engagement.

With Council's upcoming Budget, I wrote to the Council seeking an update on when this "planning and consultation" will occur.

I have now heard back from our local Councillors who have advised that consultation will begin on 20 April 2026!

This is an important sport and recreational reserve for our growing Camira community and it's good to see some action on this. ... See MoreSee Less

What if I told you that there is a company in Queensland designing and fabricating advanced superconducting devices for quantum computing? 🤯
