Thank you to all those who attended my Seniors’ Forum about "Stroke Awareness and Prevention" last Friday afternoon.

While this year wasn't our usual set-up of over 100 guests and a lovely afternoon tea, we worked around COVID-19 restrictions so that our seniors could still enjoy our annual community forum.

Did you know that stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers and a leading cause of disability? However, more than 80% of strokes can be prevented.

It's always a pleasure to teach local school students about the roles, responsibilities and daily life of a Member of Parliament.

As part of their curriculum, students learn about civics and the role of local MPs in the parliamentary process.

Congratulations to Seaview High School's Year 12 students who tonight celebrated their graduation.

Seaview students were thoroughly deserving of this moment to celebrate their fantastic achievements and the start of the next chapter of their lives.

It's not every year you celebrate a 90th birthday, and so today Hon David Speirs MP and I hosted our annual 90th Birthday Afternoon Tea for all the wonderful 90 year olds in our community.

Sponsored by local business Patritti Wines and featuring live music from Brighton Secondary School's string quartet, this high tea was the perfect way to celebrate local residents who were born in 1930.

At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent. After four years of fighting, World War I had at last come to an end.

Every year on this day, we pause to remember those who served, fought and died in that war and in all conflicts in which our country has been involved.

As part of the State Government's record $1.3 billion capital works program, $51.5 million is being invested into our community.

The schools receiving funding in our area include Brighton Secondary School, Seaview High School, Hamilton Secondary College, Brighton Primary School and Warradale Primary School.

A massive happy birthday to Warradale Primary School which this year turns 60!

The school's birthday committee put on a fantastic celebration today that included an art exhibition, live music and birthday cake.

The coffee at Kushu Café in Warradale lived up to its reputation at this month's community catch up.

I'm pleased to say we also had our largest turnout for a Coffee with Corey event this year.

Happy diamond anniversary, Geoff and Barbara!

Holdfast Bay Mayor Amanda Wilson, Local Federal Member Nicolle Flint and I today unveiled a plaque to commemorate the official opening of the redeveloped Brighton Oval.

Home to many local sporting clubs, Brighton Oval is used by hundreds of players, volunteers, life members and local residents who love the grounds.
