Business is literally blooming πŸ’πŸŽˆand it's just wonderful to see young people in our community showing such entrepreneurial spirit and drive.

Such a fantastic meeting with Melissa from BLAQ Diamonds Women Empowerment and Michael from gawunsupplies about their "Wear Purple for Change" Campaign. πŸ’œ

Through a collaboration with Challenge DV, they have designed a range of distinctive purple GANI YIRRA indigenous-printed work shirts focussed on raising awareness and support in addressing the over-representation of domestic and family violence in our indigenous communities.

Organisations like Downer, Evolution Mining and Civil, Logan City Council, the Brisbane Lions and many others have already jumped onboard - wearing these shirts proudly, starting conversations, and becoming advocates for change - so good!

This morning we had the pleasure of officially welcoming the Springfield Lakes State School 2026 School Leaders.

It was wonderful to join the school community in celebrating this special milestone and to congratulate these hardworking, dedicated students as they step into their leadership roles.

A heartfelt congratulations to Gwendolyn Irvine on her retirement after an incredible 40 years of service in education β€” what a remarkable legacy she leaves behind.

And a very warm welcome back to Principal Marsh. We’re so pleased to have you back and look forward to the year ahead under your leadership.

Queensland has had the highest unleaded prices for three years in a row.

We've introduced legislation to cap fuel increases at 5c per day.

You can show your support by signing the petition in the comments πŸ‘‡

I’ll sign a petition for people not to fill up their vehicle in the wrong direction. Even politicians should face their vehicles the direction of traffic flow and signed. Looks like it didn’t happen for this promotion photo.

Proud to stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian Community of Queensland Inc. this afternoon as we marked four years since the full scale invasion of Ukraine.

We held a peaceful candlelight vigil to honour those who have lost their lives & to continue to raise awareness of the ongoing violence and aggression against the Ukrainian people.

We say to our Ukrainian community - we see you, we have not forgotten and we will not look away.

Slava Ukraini! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Thank you for your support and God bless you, πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Thank you Charis, and thank you Joe Kelly MP, Mark Bailey MP, Renee Coffey MP and Councillor Emily Kim for standing with our community today. Four years on, the pain is still very real for so many families here in Queensland who have loved ones in Ukraine. Your presence at our vigil was not symbolic, it was meaningful. It sends a clear message that Queensland stands with Ukraine and with the Ukrainian Community of Queensland Inc. On behalf of our community, thank you for not looking away.

And would you do the same for Russian people, they didn't ask for a war America wanted πŸ€”
