It was so lovely to catch up with Fiona McIlwain from Helena's House at an event in the Queensland Parliament this week. 💙
Helena's House is named in honour of Fiona's beloved daughter Helena, who believed in a place where young people with disability could make friends, build networks and become more independent, away from home.
While the world lost the beautiful Helena at only 19, her legacy lives on in the creation of this wonderful home (currently under construction!) that will support these young people towards a more independent life.
It's a wonderful thing to do and with the support of Bestlife, it will soon be a reality. If you would like to be part of something special, I have included some details in the comments below ⬇️ ... See MoreSee Less

Finishing off a big day at a wonderful Citizenship Ceremony at Brighton Homes Arena this afternoon.
Jointly hosted by the Brisbane Lions and Multicultural Australia, it was so special to welcome 50 new Aussies 🦘to our beautiful local community.
Following the official ceremony presided over by Milton Dick MP, all conferees & their families were invited to stay on for the Lions v North Melbourne AFL Women's match tonight.
Can’t get more Aussie than that! 🏈 🇦🇺 ... See MoreSee Less

Ola 👋 from Latin Kids Fiesta!
What a terrific day out for families to learn more about our vibrant Latin American communities.
A huge congratulations to the incredible volunteers of Lazos LatinOz who organised this wonderful event today.
More than traditional music, dancing and celebration - today is about identity because we want all children to be proud of their beautiful heritage and to know they belong.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 🌻
It was wonderful to be able to support our wonderful Ukrainian community at their annual Festival today.
It has been 35 years since Ukrainians achieved independence and we continue to stand with and support them in their fight for freedom, justice and self-determination.

This is Australia. Go back and fight your war.
Geeeeez.....with virtue signalling just gets better
As a person with a disability it would have been great to have a carpark at the festival, instead the area was for the dignitaries. There was no car parks within 1.5klms of the festival. I hope this can be fixed for next time.

Today, I stood with our Rohingya community and I heard their stories. 💚
The Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day honours the lives lost and those who continue to carry the deep scars of persecution, displacement and loss.
Their courage in preserving their culture, their identity and their hopes for justice is truly inspiring.

The #Jordan Electorate is home to some incredibly innovative companies including PR Polymers.
Originally established as a traditional manufacturer of quality polyurethane products, it’s their ‘Kool Kap Down Under Blast Bags’ that have the world talking!
Used in mining blasting operations, this Queensland made product is recognised for its superior quality and world leading environmental credentials.
A huge thanks to Mike and David for inviting me along with Shadow Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Linus Power to visit the factory in Carole Park and see their operations first-hand. ... See MoreSee Less
