21.01.2022 I really want to extend my appreciation to Richard and Mark from RARMs for showing Ryan Park for Keira and I around their medical facilities in rural and remote NSW. It was rewarding and informative.

21.01.2022 How come the government is backing this option? It makes a mockery of the Business Case process to determine the best projects for government funding. The information suggests that the community's preferred option of Troy Bridge was not even assessed through the BCR process by the department. Unbelievable!

19.01.2022 It was great to do a listening tour of the south coast this week. I met with people who provided differing perspectives on a range of issues. One thing that was very clear from my conversations is the degree of passion and active advocacy in these communities.

06.01.2022 On International Women's Day we should all take time to reflect upon how much more must be done to obtain equality for women.

02.01.2022 I was proud to support the motion moved last night in the NSW Legislative Council by Hon Rod Roberts calling on the government to demerge Cootamundra-Gundagai Council. Here is my contribution.

01.01.2022 Health is such an important service for regional New South Wales. This inquiry into 'Rural and Regional Health' is highlighting just how big the gap is between health services in the city compared to health services in the regions.
