Visited the #Greenbank Training Area tonight to meet with the 149 Army Cadet Unit & to learn more about the Australian Army Cadet youth development program. 🪖
What a fantastic opportunity to see first hand the leadership, resilience, and engagement skills fostered within the Unit.
These young people were very impressive and I was grateful for their time answering my many questions about their training and what they enjoy most about Cadets.
Thank you to Captain Steven Halstead & to Sharyn Gibson from the Parent Support Group for the invitation - it’s wonderful to know a program like this exists in our region. ... See MoreSee Less

A big milestone for Camira State School this morning, with the official opening of their brand new $12 million learning centre 🏫
It's always rewarding to see these projects move from a construction site to a building full of students. Complete with five learning spaces, an outdoor learning area, a new OSHC facility and dedicated staff spaces, it's a fantastic addition that will support the school community for many years to come.
Congratulations to everyone involved, and to Bedford Built for bringing this building to life!

Thank you to our #Springfield Malayalee community (SMA QLD Inc.) for sharing another wonderful Onam with us this evening. 💚
Onam is the national festival of Kerala and involves many beautiful customs culminating in the Sadhya - a delicious vegetarian feast traditionally served on a banana leaf.

What an incredible start to QLD Multicultural Month! 🏮🎉
Last night, we kicked things off with the spectacular and iconic LUMINOUS Lantern Parade - 2,000 participants winding their way through the South Bank Parklands.
Deeply grateful to Multicultural Australia for their incredible work in organising the Parade with the support of many volunteers, sponsors and community supporters.
Martin Luther King Jr once said "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
Thank you to the over 15,000 Queenslanders who turned up last night to support the Parade - your presence sends the strongest possible message of welcome, belonging and support for our multicultural communities. ❤️

I have always been an advocate of yours, however I feel sharing this just infuriates a system that’s broken, i personally have met with yourself countless times voicing and advocating for services we need, what’s really disappointing about your dig at the education minister is what about interview parents like myself and hearing our stories we have to go through or stories my children have had to suffer in mainstream.. whilst we parents are advocating for teachers who’s advocating for special needs families..??? Charis Mullen MP I have on minimum 15-20 calls per week to atttend my children’s school to be the bridge that gaps every week, i personally have sat in your meetings pleading for new module reforms for services for our children who have additional needs, you think the system is broken for teachers I myself as a parent have to diagnose my son intellectually disabled so he can go to special school.. THATS BROKEN THATS NOT PROTECTING CHILDREN… politicians need to stop jumping on social media playing the union card always there’s a system that’s failing and that’s kids that are on the autism spectrum.. there’s no point fueling the fire and not providing proper support to stop what you are claiming. Really bloody disappointed in this post!
That is only the ones that were recorded not all the incidents
It would be great if the department of education would allow external therapists in to support children and staff. There's a massive flaw in the current support system within schools, especially with all of the high needs and high turnovers/ changes of staff.

At 2.47am on 31 July 1972, a powerful explosion ripped through the Box Flat Mine at Swanbank.
What was originally thought by some to be an earthquake, was in fact the worst mining disaster in the history of #Ipswich.
Seventeen men were killed and critical injuries sustained from the disaster eventually claimed the life of another man a year later.
It is always humbling to attend the Box Flat Memorial Service each year and lay a wreath on behalf of our community. 💐
Thank you to Hugh Taylor and the Ipswich Historical Society for their dedication in retaining the memories and supporting the families of the 18 men lost in this terrible tragedy. ... See MoreSee Less

Its quite sad the lack of European and Aboriginal Australian performers are here.. how can we unite when you ignore our own culture.
