My latest op ed @geelongaddy yesterday: hip pocket pressures dominate & big health/transport commitments. Must focus on integrity and trust. Leaders @DanielAndrewsMP @MatthewGuyMP play vital role but need to focus on the policies first & foremost. #VicVotes2022 @Comm4Geelong

Yesterday we held our Annual General Meeting and had the honour of Jeroen Weimar CEO Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee present an update to a room full of engaged members. #committeeforgeelong #geelong #commonwealthgames2026 #victoria
