More often than people think, our Federal Parliament works well to make Australia a better place. This speech by Ed Husic inspires us all to keep working together more often. Thanks for sharing your story Ed. @sabinahusic #auspol https://t.co/seG7NZJkfV

We need to start moving as though our lives depend on it - because if we don’t move it, we’ll lose it.

On 15 August 1945, Emperor Hirohito announced Japan’s unconditional surrender, on what is now known as Victory in the Pacific Day (VP Day).
During the Second World War almost 40,000 Australians lost their lives, including more than 17,000 in the war against Japan.
Lois Anne Martin from Melbourne knitted a red, white and blue vest to wear on VP day She joined her friends and Australians all over the country in the festivities with her hand cranked siren. Incidentally, she never wore the vest again.
Today we reflect and remember the almost 1 million Australian men and women who served during World War Two. Thank you for your service. #TYFYS

I found some time to visit my great friend Elaine Medhurst at Just Books in Bairnsdale ahead of my recent travels overseas.
Elaine suggested I take a look at the children's book 'If I Was Prime Minister' (sounds like a dangerous proposition!) but I chose the much safer option by Trent Dalton 'Boy Swallows Universe'. I read this uniquely Australian story on my flight with our troops to Afghanistan.
Shopping locally creates local jobs; no matter what you're buying, try sourcing it locally and supporting local busineses at every opportunity.

Safer roads save lives. My passion for road safety is well known so you can imagine my pleasure to announce more roads funding for Gippsland. More than $1 million to fix priority road safety blackspots including the Sale-Toongabbie Road (pictured) for the section from Nambrok Road to Denison Road.
Other roads to receive Black Spot funding are Liddiard Road in Traralgon, Freestone Creek Road in Briagolong and the intersection of Maryvale Road and Crinigan Road at Morwell.
