There was laughter, there were tears, connections made and stories shared. ♥️

Thank you to everyone who attended our #Springfield Death Cafe this morning.

We had an overwhelming response to the cafe, a clear indication that our community is craving these meaningful conversations about death, grief and loss.

Thank you to Ali Mills from Grief Guide for her wonderful support in organising today and to The Cafe Kalina - Springfield for hosting us.

The Zonta Ipswich Inc International Women’s Day Breakfast never disappoints.

This year, the always insightful Sandy Venn Brown, Vice President of Zonta International shared her thoughts on the 2026 IWD theme of ‘Balance the Scales’.

She highlighted the urgent need to ensure fair, inclusive, and accessible justice for every woman and girl.

More than words, it is a promise for every woman and girl to be safe, heard, and free to shape her own future. 💜💚

A beautiful morning. Always lovely seeing you Charis.

Labor have voted against the LNP’s laws to criminalise free speech in Queensland ... See MoreSee Less

This all comes as the Crisafulli LNP Government gags Parliamentary debate and tables secret amendments at the last minute.

But the laws still got through, cause liberal are bragging they passed

Interesting Pauline Hansen is in trouble with Labor recently for free speech. Was censured

Have you noticed increasing blackouts along the Ipswich Motorway, Centenary Highway and local roads?

Thank you to the local motorists who have reached out to me about their concerns.

I have contacted both the Department of Transport and Main Roads and Energex about this issue which seems to be escalating in recent times.

Of course, we know the theft of copper wiring is to blame but repairs are slow, leaving residents, motorists and pedestrians navigating dangerously dark streets and highways.

This is not merely an inconvenience; it is a serious public safety hazard.

Energex has advised they are replacing copper with aluminium which has less value to thieves - but this will take time and we need to see our highways prioritised.

Local MPs have also written to the QLD Police Minister urging him to support a specific copper theft operation for our region - like they just did for Townsville (Operation Whiskey Biome).

We deserve similar attention with targeted enforcement that can disrupt the crimes and deter further offending.

It’s definitely a problem out this way. Cable gets run back in then stolen again a few days later. Trust me the workers are doing what they can but it’s a bigger problem than people think.

Thank you for the update. My concern is that the hazard will remain, unmanaged, for an undefined period of time. What is the interim mitigation action to reduced risk to motorists?

Cars have headlights, next

**OSHC SERVICES AT SPRING MOUNTAIN STATE SCHOOL**

Thank you to the families who have reached out to me regarding the closure of Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) services at Spring Mountain State School from 2027.

I appreciate the real distress this has caused especially for working families who rely on OSHC.

Following the many concerns raised, I reached out to Jabiru Spring Mountain and met with the Jabiru CEO, Peter Loughnane and Board Member Sara Harrup.

It is clear from our discussion that they wish to continue providing OSHC services at the school but are hampered by the lack of space being made available to them - and which is a legal requirement.

Whilst they have investigated community facility options, these are limited and as a not-for-profit organisation, they are also not financially viable.

While there is no actual requirement for schools to support OSHC, most of our schools in #jordan recognise the significant need for this service for their school community.

I have reached out to the school to try and find a solution, including the potential use of the school hall as an interim measure whilst we look at an alternate built solution.

I will keep trying, but ultimately these are operational matters for school Principals, and I do not have the authority to intervene or direct a school to provide a service.

Please reach out to me if you are an affected family as your representations will assist me in my ongoing advocacy.

Charlotte Hanley have you personally met Charis Mullen MP ? Because she genuinely cares about her electorate and is actively trying to do better for us. I barly even pay attention to which side our electorates are on anymore, I follow the ones who show they care, get out there in the community and try to make a change. Charis is one of them. A few of our locals actually are.

Hire a building the same as they use on worksites. ???

Would the P&C not take it on?
