Please don’t send us bureaucrats with clipboards, we need soldiers with chainsaws. The ADF boosted morale & worked alongside Gippslanders during the recovery from the 2020 bushfires. I’m surprised they haven’t been asked to help us out again. Stay safe everyone. #lovegippsland https://t.co/mR7rN17h8n

Women with an interest in joining #YourADF have been given an up close experience at @AusAirForce Base Townsville. Candidates were able to learn about @AustralianArmy Aviation jobs, tour facilities & speak with serving members. https://t.co/lxaKh56SdK https://t.co/bHaHWTJM7q

The laundry in HMAS Ballarat is a lot more colourful these days thanks to personalised laundry bags provided by the volunteers at @aussieheroquilt for the crew. Each bag came with a brief biography of its maker, adding a personal touch. Well done. https://t.co/b81GYlaOez #TYFYS https://t.co/GkpkKyYYNK

I spoke to ABC Gippsland Radio from the Canberra studio this morning about the need for additional resources to help Gippsland recover from the storms and flooding.
The bottom line is: please don’t send us bureaucrats with clipboards, send us soldiers with chainsaws!
The Australian Defence Force provided a huge boost to morale during last summer’s bushfires, and the troops have the training and equipment to help out during humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions throughout the world.
We need them here now to help our community get on top of the huge number of jobs to restore access and get people back on their feet.
The Victorian Government needs to submit a request for ADF support through Emergency Management Australia to assist with recovery efforts and so far they’ve asked for five planners.
With hundreds of Gippslanders still without power and thousands of others around the state, we need extra help ASAP to support the electricity company crews as they restore power lines.
Our local community effort has been extraordinary but I’m worried about ‘disaster fatigue’ and I’m surprised Victoria hasn’t asked for additional help.

Getting stuff done… and recognising a legendary Gippslander at the same time!
The long-anticipated $500,000 development of new facilities at the Lakes Entrance Recreation Reserve is officially complete and it has a fitting new name.
The new changerooms will be used by local footballers and cricketers and were named in memory of Peter ‘Turtle’ Stewart.
‘Turtle’ was a great friend of everyone who met him, and I shared many funny times with him at footy and golf. He was quite the raconteur and always had a story to tell… and believe me, they got bigger and better every year.
He was well known around East Gippsland for this involvement as a player, umpire and volunteer official in a number of sporting organisations and his hard work was acknowledged with life memberships of several organisations.
It was a great honour and a fitting tribute to officially open the new changerooms and recognise a man who gave so much to our community.
The project includes multi-use changerooms, accessible toilets and new umpire facilities.
The previous facilities were old, tired and in need of replacement to cater for the growing number of females involved in the club.
The Federal Government provided $360,000 towards the project through the Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program.
