22.01.2022 Today is National Police Remembrance Day where we remember police officers who have died while serving in their jurisdictions. Remembrance Day is a sobering reminder of how the ordinary can turn into the extraordinary, and the potential dangers that officers sometimes face while trying to protect their communities. Officers will remember colleagues who have died while on duty as well as our colleagues who have died from illness while a member of Tasmania Police. ... Today is also a time to reflect on the hard work and dedication of all officers and the contribution they make to the community. The job of a police officer is one that brings great satisfaction, but also brings a number of challenges.

21.01.2022 A beautiful day to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the opening of Tasmania’s first railway at the Tasmanian Transport Museum with Kristie Johnston, Rod Prince, Bec Thomas, Deputy Mayor Glenorchy City Council, Michael Ferguson, Elise Archer MP and CEO of TasRail, Steven Dietrich. It was wonderful to see the museum’s president, Rod Prince, and fellow volunteers so happy with the official handover of the last English Electric Corporation locomotive built in Australia. Ad...ditionally, 5 kilometres of unused rail corridor between Elwick Rd and Mentmore St has been handed to the museum which will greatly expand their heritage rail operations meaning longer train rides for families to enjoy! #suehickeygetsthingsdone

13.01.2022 The wonderful people at Neonatal Kitten Rescue Hobart have just launched a fantastic new project to offer low-cost cat desexing to those cat-owners in the community. Desexing your cat is an important part of responsible pet ownership, but paying for this service up front is not always an affordable option. Neonatal Kitten Rescue are now offering a no-interest repayment option that can be as little as $5 per week, plus they are offering microchipping at $10! ... To further assist those vulnerable people in the community, Neonatal Kitten Rescue are also calling for donations of non-perishable food items. These can be dropped into my office at 331 Main Road, Glenorchy. Thank you!

13.01.2022 Thank you so much to a generous lady who called in to donate a wonderful bag of cat food to assist with the Neonatal Kitten Rescue Hobart cat desexing project! A reminder that you can donate at my office at 331 Main Rd, Glenorchy. #shgetsthingsdone

11.01.2022 I’m proud to be sponsoring The North Hobart Football Club this year and it was fabulous to enjoy today’s 3 point win from the Plaister Stand, alongside passionate club president, Craig Martin! Such a great spot to view the footy from, but sadly not accessible for people with mobility issues and I am advocating strongly for funding to install a lift so this facility is accessible for all. Congratulations to Glenorchy District Football Club 'RSEA Magpies' player Jaye Bowden o...n a wonderful career and best wishes on moving on to the next chapter. #shgetsthingsdone
