I was delighted to attend the official opening of the Inala University Study Hub this morning, being led by the University of Southern Queensland - Australia.

If you live in outer suburban areas, studying at a university (even in Brisbane) can sometimes feel like it's just too far away.

But the Albanese #Labor Government is changing this through the $66.9m 'Regional University Study Hubs Program' - which is bringing higher education closer to where a lot of people live and opening up the world to more opportunities.

The new Inala University Study Hub is fantastic and offers a quiet space to study, providing WiFi, computers and printing as well as academic support for local students enrolled at ANY university, TAFE or vocational education.

A huge thank you to Federal Minister Jason Clare and Milton Dick MP for championing this project which will be of great benefit to the entire south-west SEQ region.

A huge welcome to the SmartCare UrgentCare Clinic team right here in #SpringfieldCentral!

This brand-new private Urgent Care Clinic is now up and running and provides emergency specialist-led care for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses - and the best part, no waiting!

Consultation fees are $295 per visit - and comprehensive diagnostic services are available on-site including X-ray, CT, pathology, and ECG testing with bulk-billing available for eligible patients.

It's great to see health services growing here in Greater Springfield to cater for our growing community.

Wow, doubt a lot of people will be going there. I know for us with all the costs rising, we wont be able to afford to make a visit, so ipswich hospital for emergency or gp wait list will be the only option. Guess the fees would need to cover the cost of the newly built hospital. Good to see extra medical services but with all the rising costs of living perhaps helping families out would be great šŸ‘

Who are the eligible patients for the bulk billing? Is that through Medicare only or is it also an "extra" for private health?

An interesting historical coincidence...Australia Day šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗ and Indian Republic Day šŸ‡®šŸ‡³ actually fall on the same day (26 Jan).

Thank you to the Federation of Indian Communities of Queensland (FICQ) | Australia for inviting me to their annual ā€˜India - Australia Day’ event last night - always a wonderful opportunity to recognise the strong and enduring relationship between our two nations.

We need to document every politician who chose to celebrate India's Republic Day on our Australia Day educate their electorate come next election. It's time for candidates who are loyal to Australia and our national identity.

If they’ve become Australian citizens, they should be celebrating Australia Day. Why are they here if they want to celebrate India Day.

Charis Mullen MP So there you go, I served in the Australian defence force for 28 years and only think of my self as an Australian but often reflect on my heritage and how lucky I was to have my parents bravely crossing the globe to Australia. I was born in India and immigrated with my parents and siblings 57 years ago and had no idea Australia Day and Indian Independence days were both on the 26th January. A double celebration of for both cultures with a respectful acknowledgement that the 26th January is day of reflection and mourning for our indigenous Australians.

It’s been a while! šŸš—

So a gentle reminder that with most schools returning today, so too are 40km/h school zones.

Please look out for our young ones and drive with care around schools šŸ‘§šŸ½šŸ§’šŸ¼

Is there a reason as to why the new St Bonaventures school doesnt have a school crossing or enforced school speed limits? They commence tomorrow and as of today, there is still nothing up...which is concerning given the school only has younger students this year.

I attended the Brisbane Australia Day and India Republic Day and did 6 videos but not the 1st, the Australian anthem. 😪 I pulled out my hand grip and recorded the Indian one for Manisha my daughter inlaw and then a few later. photos.app.goo.gl/tEHsrPynT7NrumCk8 photos.app.goo.gl/vhyyjUZshW6GcsMC7 Ladies video 1 . . . photos.app.goo.gl/pFEVSLAdChCNCC75A Ladies video 2 . . . photos.app.goo.gl/aR3VbapPZ3qzHigp8 Ladies video 3 . . . photos.app.goo.gl/5wmPuv4fnQbbUMTX6 photos.app.goo.gl/HsuGEUkZjKpq9ZtW9

It's important to acknowledge that January 26 is not a date of celebration for our First Nations people, but one of deep pain and sorrow.

This afternoon, I joined Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across Queensland who have gathered at the Robelle Domain Parklands, Springfield for the 'Stand Tall, Stand Proud Festival'. šŸ–¤šŸ’›ā¤ļø šŸ’ššŸ’™šŸ¤

This family-friendly community festival marks a day of reflection, truth-telling, unity and strength.

Thank you to the Bowie family and 'Building Strong Families Foundation' for organising today's event, to all of the incredible guest speakers, stall holders, performers and attendees.
