Huge crowds at today’s Ukrainian Festival 2025! 🇺🇦
Thank you to President Peter Bongiorni and the wonderful Ukrainian Community of Queensland Inc. for putting together a spectacular day showcasing their beautiful culture in honour of Independence Day.

What an honour to attend the 100th birthday celebrations for Sister Angela Mary Doyle at Brisbane City Hall this morning.
An absolutely remarkable woman who has dedicated her life in the service of others and through her incredible work supporting Mater.
I had the privilege of getting to know Sister Angela Mary when she was advocating for the #Springfield Public Hospital.
It was lovely to see so many share their reflections of her and her life including Milton Dick MP. ... See MoreSee Less

𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗥𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 - Springfield Central State High School
When the Senior Campus proposal was delayed due to stabilised enrolments, I advocated strongly to our former #Labor Government for funding to be allocated for the existing school campus to get some necessary facility upgrades.
Funding was secured at the time and I'm pleased to see the Queensland Department of Education is finally progressing this work which will begin in September (see works proposed in comments below⬇️)
𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗢𝗥 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗨𝗦 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘
I also recently met with Department representatives for an update on the Senior Campus. A Detailed Business Case is being prepared for the Government's consideration to progress - with a potential opening date of 2029 / 2030.
Based on my discussions with our local state schools and projected enrolment numbers, I am strongly urging the Government to either progress the Senior Campus or alternatively build a brand-new High School for Greater Springfield (between Spring Mountain and Augustine Heights) to meet future secondary student demand. ...

When you next get behind the wheel of your car, I hope you think of four year old Hendrix-Hemi from #Logan who dreamt of growing up to be a firefighter.
Please don’t speed.
If you drink, don’t drive.
Buckle up.
Put your phone down and pay attention.
Please be patient.
Please think of the repercussions and stay safe on the roads.
Road safety is everyone’s responsibility.

I believe it has a lot to do with drivers training right from the beginning. Some parents make the WORST driving instructors!! In Germany, you attend 12 double hours of theoretical night classes before you are allowed to sit a test, then professional practice. The hours here depend on your skill, and the Trainer recommends you for the test. You have to do double hours of night time, country road, inner city in high traffic, and our famous Autobahn at high speed learning to merge/exit/overtake with high concentration. The license costs a lot, is an investment in your future as a skilled and safe driver, and people generally don't want to risk their license. Too expensive. We pass our practice tests after around 8 to 12 hours driving practice. With a professional Trainer. Not 100 hours with impatient mum and dad..
the day after this tradegy my 6yr old daughter and I were nearly hit on a zebra crossing because 3 drivers were not paying attention and decided to go through as we were in the process of crossing I yanked my daughter back so hard... just because you want to get to where your going what you class as faster when in all reality 30sec quicker but in the process your destroying someones life and the life of those who loved them, is it worth it I think not RIP to this little man and his dad
We should have mandatory testing every licence renewal, and the test should be much harder to pass. Driving should be a privilege, not a right

Do you have to notify the fire ant peeps as well so they know where they are?
Got mine mailed to me as I am on their database for regular treatment.
