The opening ceremony of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts was a few weeks ago, but these words have stayed with me.
It gave me goosebumps to see generations of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts come together to celebrate 30 years of encouraging the next generation of young women 🙌
WAGGGS provides an incredible opportunity for girls and young women to take on leadership roles in their community while learning the skills they need to succeed 💜
A special congratulations to Centenary locals Lynne Price and Judy Rogers for the pivotal role they played in bringing this very important event to life 👏 ... See MoreSee Less

I'm always so proud to show members of our community through Parliament House — and usually it's school students! But recently I was delighted to welcome some of our more senior residents from the Mount Ommaney Probus Club 🙌
If you're interested in booking a tour of Parliament House, contact my office, we'd love to help! 📞💛 ... See MoreSee Less

Today marks not only International Nurses Day, but also ten years since nurse-to-patient ratios were legislated right here in Queensland.
We knew then and we know now that ratios save lives. This was a hard-fought win by QNMU members and I am so proud to have been part of the Labor team that continued to deliver for nurses during our time in Government.
Ratios mean safer workloads in our public hospitals, better outcomes for patients, more lives saved, fewer readmissions and less time in hospital.
To all the nurses and health workers in our community, thank you for the incredible job you do every single day. You deserve a safe workplace 💛 ... See MoreSee Less

I first met Michael in my first term of Parliament after watching him on Australian Story, and being absolutely amazed at his determination — first as an elite athlete and later as a passionate advocate for people with disability 🙌
He is always so much fun to catch up with and it was a delight to share a ginger beer recently at Parliament 🍻💛 ... See MoreSee Less

Mother’s Day means something different for every mum.
For me, it’s the school runs, the lunches, the cuddles after a rough day, the mountain of washing that never ends, the beautiful chaos, and the daily juggle of pouring everything into your family and your community.
Being Mum to my three kids is the greatest privilege of my life. It keeps me grounded, keeps me honest, and reminds me every single day what truly matters. No matter how hectic things get in this job, nothing will ever be more important than being their mum 💛
Today I’m celebrating all the mums, grandmothers, stepmums, foster mums and mother figures who give so much of themselves without a second thought. And I’m holding space for those who find today tough. Those missing their mum, grieving a loss, longing to become a mother, or just carrying a lot right now.
To every mum doing her best. You are enough, you are appreciated, and you are so deeply loved.
Happy Mother’s Day 💐 ... See MoreSee Less

With just under a month to go till her baby boy is due, I was excited to raid the Sherwood State School fete bookstore for my sister Isabella! 📚🤍
I grabbed one of my absolute all-time favourite children’s books as well as one of my favourite parenting books!
In my view, nothing beats Hairy Maclary for a bedtime story, they are so much fun for parents to read! 📕😄 ... See MoreSee Less

A special thank you to the wonderful teachers who made it happen 💛 ... See MoreSee Less
