I get to meet all kinds of incredible people in this job — it's without a doubt one of the best parts 🙌
But my conversation with Stuart, a Centenary local living with Parkinson's, at a recent Parliament event was incredibly enlightening and inspiring.
We spoke about the importance of exercise in staying strong and healthy — Stuart walks daily and does Pilates weekly! What an absolute champion 💪
I had such a lovely chat I'm hoping we can catch up again soon 💛 ... See MoreSee Less

I am in awe of our midwives! 🤍
With three children of my own, I remember all of the amazing midwives who played a role in the birth of my bubs. But I also get really excited when I meet young up-and-coming midwives — like Alice — who have chosen to walk alongside women as they bring their bubs into the world 👶
Today is the International Day of the Midwife, so thank you Alice — and thank you to all the Alices who have chosen this amazing calling. We so appreciate you 💛 ... See MoreSee Less

Happy Labour Day! 🙌
I love catching up with everyone at the march, it's fantastic to hear about what's happening and the different union initiatives everyone is working on.
Now more than ever, unions are important to ensure our rights in the workplace are upheld and improved. I'm proud to be Labor, and I'll always fight for better wages and your rights at work 💪
Thank you to the organisers for another wonderful event — it's a huge undertaking but absolutely worth it to celebrate the achievements of workers. And thank you to the thousands who turned out!
I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend — and if you're working today, I hope you're enjoying your penalty rates! 💛 ... See MoreSee Less

Scouting on the Green is such an important way for MPs to meet with scouts and find out firsthand why scouting continues to be such a valuable activity for our young people ⚜️
It was so much fun checking out the makeshift tent they'd put up with some of the young scouts — what legends! 🏕️😄
Thank you for having me 👏

Yesterday, 30 April, marked the anniversary of the fall of Saigon.
For many in our Vietnamese community, this is a deeply significant and emotional day. It is a time to reflect on loss, displacement, and the strength it took to rebuild lives here in Queensland.
I’m grateful to stand alongside our local Vietnamese community in remembrance, and to recognise the incredible contribution Vietnamese Australians have made to our state.
Thank you to Kieu Oanh Do, President of the Vietnamese Community in Australia – Qld Chapter, for organising this moving ceremony

This is a longer post — but it's important to me.
About six weeks ago on a Saturday, I dropped in to see Dad after he asked for a food drop-off. I found him shaking, struggling to stand, and wearing a cardigan even though it was over 30 degrees outside.
I took him straight to the Oxley Urgent Care Clinic, where the fantastic doctors put him on oxygen and called an ambulance. It was pretty scary to see someone who has always been healthy and strong so sick and vulnerable 💔
Dad was diagnosed with Influenza A and a chest infection. He's doing much better now — but it was a strong reminder that the flu is no joke.
That's why I got my flu shot early this year in Parliament. Every year in Queensland, people die from the flu.
Please, please, please, book in with your GP or call your local pharmacy to get your flu shot today 💉💛 ... See MoreSee Less

What do Girl Guides do when they grow up? They become Trefoil Guild members!! 🙌
The Trefoil AGM is one of my favourites for lots of reasons — seeing the decades of service from our amazing Trefoil elders to Guiding is always incredible, but the sensational morning tea doesn't hurt either! 😄🍰
Here's to another year of mentoring our next generation of Girl Guides 💜✨ ... See MoreSee Less
