We have severe weather warnings for the Peninsula to Wilsons Prom tonight & tomorrow.

We are expecting damaging, destructive winds across most of the state, and warnings for abnormally high tides and destructive surf along coastal areas.

Please tie down loose outdoor items, such as furniture, umbrellas, and trampolines, and keep you and your property safe.

Macalister Demonstration Farm was set up to innovate irrigation & dairy practices, and save farmers money.

Katherine, Jasmine, and Shayne showed me around and discussed future plans.

We can’t have a country where your access to secure housing depends on the bank of mum and dad.

I worry about my kids and all the young people trying to get housing – and if we don’t do something serious about this now, the problem will get worse.

Higher wages for educators means better care for our young ones.

And we’re doing this while keeping costs down for families by capping child care fees.

The Country Football Netball Club grants program is now open!

Since 2021-22, grants have been awarded to Dromana, Lindenow South, and Wy Yung just to name a few.

I encourage all local clubs to apply before September 30th.

The Labor Government is funding a 15% pay rise for early childhood educators.

To be eligible to receive funding for the wage increase, ECEC services won’t be able to increase their fees by more than 4.4 per cent over the next 12 months.

This is a win for families and a win for workers.

It’s a moving memorial in Hiroshima Peace Park

Ten years on, those killed in the downing of flight MH17 remain in our hearts. Our thoughts are with their loved ones – the passing of time does not diminish the pain of their loss.

Busy weekend missed this on Saturday, better late than never!

Today I took my office to Erica, Rawson and Walhalla.

It was a beautiful day. While in Erica, I had the privilege to pop in and see the kids at the Erica Bush Kinder, and it was an absolute treat. Also had the opportunity to talk to the teachers about the proposed 3 year old kinder funding 👍

Where should my next office be?
