As the former Minister for Veterans Affairs I am proud to see our local school promoting an appreciation an...d understanding of the role our ex-servicemen and women played in wars, conflicts and peace keeping operations. http://www.brucebillson.com.au//schools-remember-our-serv/

12.01.2022 Community based action is central to tackling the drug Ice. As a community representative and father, I continue to be deeply concerned about the impacts of the drug ice and the pressure it is putting on users, local families, our frontline workers and treatment facilities. I am actively participating at the Frankston Ice Forum to be held on the 27th of April. ... More information can be found at: http://bit.ly/1SzwOKY

08.01.2022 Its great to see Chris, Grace and Yasmin out and about in Dunkley. To choose our community as the place to raise their family was an inspired choice but a very logical one given all the great things about our community, including the natural environment. For Chris and his family to not only choose our community as their home but to take the bold and selfless step of committing themselves to public life and service to our community is an inspiration!... Theres lots to love about our community and to see Chris is working to nurture these many positives and working to support more opportunities for local residents and businesses.

08.01.2022 Received such a warm and generous farewell from the Speaker of the House Tony Smith today at Question Time...complete with fantastic photo bomb by Julie Bishop . Thanks to my bodacious wife Kate and micro humans for being with me. It has been such an honour to serve.
