A few days ago I wrote "again" to the Minister For Police to express the dismay of many residents about the antisocial behaviour on our streets across the North Gold Coast.

We will harass you every week as our communities are crying out for more Police resources. Click continue reading for the letter.

Big thank you to the legendary Helensvale Lions Club for once again hosting the Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony at Helensvale and Stuart Robert MP for his enlightening speech. Australia Day isn't complete without a Aussie flag in a Lamington. Thanks again Lions.

The completed M1 Motorway Exit 54 interchange seems to be handling the school traffic rather well.

Every year we hear the same debate about Australia Day. Change this change that. Australia Day is the 26 of January, this Australia Day, support our Aussie Farmers, throw a steak on the BBQ, get some pork on your fork or dig into some lamb chops. Support local small businesses, buy Australian grown and have a great day. If you don't wish to celebrate Australia Day, have a great day anyway.
