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

A heartfelt ANZAC Day service at goodnewslutheranschool this morning 🙏
The school captains did a commendable job leading the service, and it was so lovely to see the students, staff and broader Good News community come together to pay their respects.
The students at Good News are known for being kind and respectful — and that was on full display today.
A special mention to Isaac, who delivered a beautiful Last Post and Rouse 🎺
It is so important that the younger generation understand the sacrifice of those who paid the ultimate price.

It was an honour to attend the ANZAC ceremony at Corinda State High School today, alongside School Captains Genevieve and Lexi, Cultural Captains Michaela and Sana, and a proud flight of cadets 🙏
John Jennings opened the ceremony with a stunning performance on the bagpipes — a solemn and moving start to the service 🎵
The ceremony was delivered with great respect and dignity, reflecting the deep significance of this day. I was particularly struck by the leadership shown by the students, whose contributions highlighted the enduring importance of courage, mateship and remembrance that define the ANZAC spirit.
My sincere thanks to Principal Ross Bailey, as well as the dedicated staff and students, for hosting such a meaningful and memorable commemoration.

It was an honour to join the community at the beautifully run Oxley Memorial this morning for a moving ANZAC Day service.
Matt Conway always delivers a stirring rendition of the ode, I find it so powerful to listen each time. These words reminded us all why we pause on this day.
And I was personally honoured to sing the New Zealand national anthem in honour of the Kiwi Anzacs in my family. It is always so special to me to sing that anthem, especially on Anzac Day.
We will remember them.

Such a meaningful morning at the Centenary RSL Sub-Branch for their ANZAC Day service.
I was so moved by the youth address delivered by Henry and Nathaniel from Middle Park State School, who spoke beautifully about what ANZAC Day means to them. It gives you so much hope for the future.
It was great to see so many of our local school leaders in attendance, representing their schools with pride.
Chief among them was the beautiful singing from Charlotte and Eva, the Centenary State high students who sang the national anthems. Not to mention the absolutely flawless bugler!
A huge thank you to the Centenary RSL committee and volunteers who put so much into making this service happen every year.

It was lovely to join the Darra RSL Sub-branch for their ANZAC Day breakfast this morning 🙏
There’s something really special about sitting down with veterans, service personnel and locals to share a meal and reflect on the sacrifice of those who served.
It’s always wonderful to see members of our local Vietnamese community and their veterans in attendance — a beautiful reminder that the ANZAC spirit transcends all backgrounds and brings our whole community together.
A special thank you to my dad, Dave Pugh, who laid a wreath on my behalf at the service 💛
Thank you to the Darra RSL and President Grant for their warm hospitality, as always.
