Should the federal government be doing more to bring Australians back home? For example using defence force aircraft to repatriate those stuck overseas.

    I have had a great trip to #Gellibrand and #Mortla I have had a great trip to #Gellibrand and #MortlakeSouth Wind Farms. Gellibrand was in operation and has been for the last 2 years, Mortlake South is nearing completion. Both these projects are making a large contribution to not only our #renewable #energy future, but supporting local community groups and local infrastructure. These contributions are giving back to so many farmers doing it tough. Don’t be fooled by the green pastures, these dairy farmers (and sheep and cattle graziers) are finding it hard to stay the course, and being able to diversify their land and their income will supporting dairying into the future. It still amazes me that the wind turbines in the #McintyreWindFarm will be 70-40 meters taller than these. The 180 turbines that will be built south of Karara will generate power for 750,000 homes. This will support the #Palaszczuk Governments commitment to 50% renewables by 2030.

    Taking advantage of big cuts to the price of irrig Taking advantage of big cuts to the price of irrigation water will be made easy for Queensland’s irrigators through steps announced today to fulfil the Queensland Government’s $50 million election commitment. From 1 July, when we begin the new financial year, every irrigator who buys water from Queensland’s state-owned irrigation schemes, will automatically see 15 per cent cut from their water bill. For horticultural growers – who are getting a 50 per cent total discount on their bills in light of the jobs and economic growth created by fruit, vegetable, nut and turf operations – the balance of their discount will be delivered through a 35 per cent rebate. The Queensland Government’s $50 million election commitment means the government will provide $81.6 million to support irrigators over the next three years. For more information on the Queensland Government’s irrigation price cuts, visit www.rdmw.qld.gov.au.

    Public submissions are now open for the Women’s Public submissions are now open for the Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce. We’re inviting women, including victims and survivors of domestic and family violence, to come forward and talk about their experiences dealing with the criminal justice system. Women face barriers when they seek help and report on violence, and we know it can draw out the legal process and add to their trauma. The Taskforce, chaired by the Honourable Margaret McMurdo AC, is investigating these barriers and wants to hear directly from Queensland women to inform this vital work. Submissions can be made in confidence through the secure portal: www.womenstaskforce.qld.gov.au.
    I’m very concerned about the recent announcement I’m very concerned about the recent announcement of NAB to permanently close the branch in Texas. I have spoken to business owners about their challenges to secure a place to do face-to-face business banking. The closure of this long standing community partnership is just one more example of big business forsaking rural communities.
    Private Edward Benjamin Waldron Harvey enlisted in Private Edward Benjamin Waldron Harvey enlisted into the Army on 24 September 1914. He was assigned to the 5th Light Horse Regiment, C Squadron. He embarked on HMAT Persic at Sydney bound for Egypt. Edward remained in Egypt for six months before being dispatched to Anzac Cove, Gallipoli to provide reinforcements to the soldiers who had sustained heavy losses. Edward was one of the lucky Australians who returned home after the war. He returned to his family and to farming. He was one of thousands of Western Queenslanders to give service during WWI and one of many less to return. Tomorrow is the 106th Anzac Day and like all those before we pause to remember those who have fought to keep us safe and we honour those who never made it back. Lest we forget
