Cutting almost $40m in funding for domestic and family violence support and prevention is not right.
At a time when our own DFV services & local police are sharing that they are seeing escalating violence in our communities, we should be investing more, not less. ... See MoreSee Less

If you or someone you know needs support from DFV, please reach out:
This story doesn’t show a holistic approach. As an example they cut funding of a DV support group in QLD police and moved the funding to front line police so they can better respond to urgent calls such as DV. Best decision ever as it allows police to better respond to DV as it occurs rather than be councillors and provide ongoing support to victims. Let police be police and provide crucial help to DV on the front line and councillors and support organisations can provide the ongoing support to victims rather than tie up police resources. I’m stunned that any councillor would advocate for police to form multi roles rather than be an emergency service. These cuts are fantastic news in my opinion - more funding in the front line services. I’m all for people getting help and support but tbat support is better managed outside of a police officer role and better managed by other services that provide that service better.
Governments need to fund more behaviour change programs even better make them a residential program so women and children can stay at home. Change legislation so that attending a program is not optional and if they don’t then they are in breach. Get to the source of the issue, there are many occasions when there is one man using violence against multiple partners and children.
Well, this one's been a bit of a SAGA! š
When the redesigned Bus Route 526 was introduced in November 2025, it identified a couple of 'hail n ride' stops on Brookwater Drive (near Oakview Cct).
Unfortunately, many bus drivers just wouldn't stop to collect passengers trying to hail ā buses, causing much frustration for poor #Brookwater commuters.
My office and I have been following this up with TMR since the introduction of the service and have been advised that they will now be installing new PERMANENT bus stops at this location. š
They are working with Ipswich City Council on the delivery - currently in design phase and scheduled for construction in the coming months.
They have also advised that due to safety reasons, they have now removed the hail 'n' ride stops altogether from the Translink Journey Planner, claiming they were identified incorrectly originally due to an admin error.
I will continue to monitor the delivery of the new bus stops over coming months - and thank you to those who reached out to me for assistance. š ... See MoreSee Less

Does it take 50 min to get to Orion from Brookwater like it does for Springfield lake? It's a 7 min drive or 35 min walk. But the bus goes all over the place
Hail and ride was a ridiculous idea to begin with. Not accessibility friendly at all. People need to determine a physical bus stop to wait at or get dropped off at. It’s a safety issue too. Imagine a school aged child missing their stop and getting dropped somewhere completely different to what they know!

Has the 40 been put back at Hymba Yumba? If not why not I suppose blak kids don’t matter?
What is the sense of advertising this as it is not policed properly. How about you go stand around the school zones, for these times and see first hand how bad it has become. But nothing will change.

She all labour pushing there agenda like uk.
If they were ANZAC’s then ANZAC should suffice, why more division ?? Special mentions ?? If there going to be dedications for people of Scottish heritage, or Italian and Irish heritage, maybe a few Muslims fought too can we have another ?? Sick of this nonsense
my grandfather fought , i dont remember this at all
