A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated items toward Zonta Ipswich Inc's 16 Days of Activism project.

We collected two massive bags of craft supplies and knitted items which will be used for a very special installation in Queens Park, Ipswich. 💜

The Mount Isa Multicultural Festival has been on my “must-do” list for many years and I was not disappointed! 🎉

What a wonderful evening celebrating the many cultures of Mt Isa through amazing performances, delicious food and cultural activities.

A huge thank you to the amazing Fr Mick Lowcock & Therese Sexton along with the many volunteers of the Good Shepherd Catholic Parish for bringing everyone together and creating a place of welcome & belonging.

And it is always lovely to catch up with my friend, former Member for Mt Isa and Chair of the Festival, Tony McGrady.

Like so many, I am deeply saddened at the passing of former Queensland Police Service Commissioner Steve Gollschewski.

He dedicated so much of his life to serving the people of Queensland with honour, integrity, and compassion.

Sending strength and love to his family, his friends and to his many Queensland Police Service colleagues at this difficult time.

With Honour He Served. 💙

How exciting!! Do you know if there are any staffing positions available yet?

Charis Mullen MP this is great news any updates for years 2+

Big changes at the Waterworx Aquatic & Fitness Centre following the sale of the Centre to new owners.

The indoor pool has been leased to Sam Riley Swim Schools, Sports & Spinal are staying and there are some questions still around the gym.

But the sad news is that the outdoor pool will be closing for good.

As this is a private business, it's obviously their decision but losing a valuable lap pool for our area will be very disappointing for many local #Springfield families, our Springfield Waterworx Swimming Club and for our schools who use the facility for their swimming lessons.

Charis Mullen MP- can the council turn waterworx into a council pool and keep it?

I grew up at this place, training 10 sessions a week, building resilience, making friends, even met my wife at waterworx. This place helped shaped me into the person I am today. Very sad I won’t be able to come back and swim in the outdoor pool with my kids some day, but super grateful to the owners Paul, Lynn, Greg and Ricky and the swim coaches throughout my years of swimming competitively. Thank you Springfield Waterworx Swimming Club

Happy Australian National Flag Day! 🇦🇺

125 years ago today, the very first Australian National Flag was flown on 3 September 1901.

Did you know the design for our flag was a result of a national competition announced by Edmund Barton, our country’s first Prime Minister?

There were 32,823 entries with five winners, including two students, announced as creating the final winning design.

I love this flag with all my heart. Thank you for everything, Australia🇦🇺❤️

Time for our own flag mate it is 2026 not 1926

Why would you want to celebrate when a bunch of poms landed here for your national day and defend the 'Aussie' flag that has a dirty big pom symbol on it. Honestly, have some self respect. It is not patriotic to worship a foreign symbol, particularly one that represents oppression of every single ethnic group in Australia, including everyone from the British Isles. Australia is still a dominion of a foreign country. You are not a patriot if you love a dominion's flag. You are not a patriot if you don't believe in creating our own independent republic. Grow a pair of ovaries and let go of the apron strings. 🤦🏽‍♀️
