Mark Boothman MP Blog - July 2024 - Mark Boothman

Pounding the pavement again today, letterbox dropping the LNP tough on crime policies and talking to residents as I went around. I started to lose my voice by mid-afternoon. This afternoon, the community roadside at Maudsland proved to be busy, with multiple people stopping to chat. Rug up as It is going to be a cold one tonight.

Thank you for all your efforts after the Christmas Day Storms. You never wavered, even in the most oppressive conditions, clearing roads and properties of debris and helping those in need. Day after day, you put on the yellow uniform, knowing jobs needed to be done to serve our community. From a grateful community, thank you!

Congratulations, Brendan Gold (better known as Red) Brendan has been awarded Rural Fire Service 2024 State Volunteer of the Year! Brendan is the Guanaba Rural Fire Brigade’s first officer and a highly respected Rural Fire Service Volunteer. He regularly gives up his time volunteering for the community he truly is passionate about. He leads by example and never asks his team to do anything he wouldn't do himself. You are an absolute legend!

Thank you to everyone who supported the Coomera Valley Rural Fire Brigade! The Rotary Club of Coomera Valley worked overtime cooking bacon and eggs, steak burgers and sausage on bread with onions on top. I ended the day with my usual Sunday afternoon community road at Oxenford. Opposite SPAR Express Oxenford, the home of the best chicken pies, vanilla slices, bacon cheese beef pies, caramel slices, and the list goes on.

Thank you to everyone who supported The Helensvale Farmers Market today! Every dollar spent locally is returned many times! 🦁 Our legends from the Lions Club of Helensvale once again picked up the BBQ tools and cooked a sausage sizzle production line Henry Ford would be proud of. 🪧 Thank you to the many people who stopped for a chat at my community roadside. 🔍 Trivia tonight with former P&F President Nat at Jubilee Primary School - Pacific Pines
