I WOULD like to start by sending my condolences to the Royal Family and paying my respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, in recognition of her extraordinary contribution and life.
Parliament sittings will officially resume on October 11, and I am looking forward to again being your voice on the floor of Parliament and prosecuting those issues that matter to us in the north of the state.
Over the past couple of weeks, I have spent time travelling around the electorate visiting our schools and hospitals that do a fantastic job educating our children and providing essential health care.
