From The Member's Desk

Wednesday 21 December 2011

Can you believe it is almost time to wave goodbye to another year? 2011 has come, and is almost gone.

Even though Parliament is finished for the year I have been busier than a mouse in a cheese factory. This is the time of year when I get to go to a myriad of Christmas functions (which are a disaster for the waistline), as well as catching up on lots of local appointments/meetings. I attended the health task force final meeting for the year and recently met with Professor Greg Hill from University of Sunshine Coast, and with Nelson Mark, the Manager of the Public Trustee office. I also presented certificates at the Wide Bay TAFE graduation and chaired the Maryborough Gliding Club inaugural meeting.

It was also a privilege to award Justice of the Peace Silver Certificates for 25 years service to Muriel Hislop and Ross Jeffress and to also present a cheque for $100 to Roy Tucker from Tinana State School for winning the Best All Rounder award for 2011. Glenys and I attended the very enjoyable Maryborough Pensioners luncheon, I was the guest speaker at the Rotary Club of Maryborough City monthly meeting and presented certificates at the National Green Jobs Corps graduation ceremony at the TESS farm.

The outgoing Provost of USQ Hervey Bay, Professor Ken Stott has had a very significant impact on USQ Fraser Coast, despite having significant health problems. Ken has been an energetic and mature leader who has presided over a very significant period of growth at the University. I really enjoyed catching up with Ken for a coffee last week, and I wish him and his wife Kim all the best and Godspeed, as they head south for a new chapter in their lives.

Yesterday was the official opening of the Craignish Fire Station and the rest of the week will be finishing up with a number of constituent appointments in the office before the Christmas break. This Christmas will be a very happy one for our family, as my daughter and her husband, and my son, are all coming home from England, so we will have the whole family back together for a couple of weeks.

This is my last Herald Column for this year. My office will be closed from 5:00pm on Thursday 22 December 2011 and reopen on Tuesday 3 January 2012. I would like to wish everyone a wonderful and safe Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, from myself, Barbara and Paul in my office, as you remember the real reason for the season…

Kind Regards
