Nice story in this week's Narrogin Observer about the virtual village that volunteers, Steve Martin MLC and I opened in Wandering, and similar villages in Wickepin, Cuballing and Pingelly. I worked with the vollies to secure federal funding for the project. Really fantastic to see the villages get off the ground! thewest.com.au/news/narrogin-observer/pingelly-virtual-village-officially-launches-enabling-elder...
Great to catch up with Curtin University Vice-Chancellor Harlene Hayne and the Kalgoorlie Campus Council today to get an update on the progress of their University Department of Rural Health (UDRH) project which received federal funding back in March.
Up to $18M has been granted to create allied health training pathways for students from all over WA to train in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia in the fields of Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy, Speech Pathology and other allied health disciplines, particularly aimed at meeting the existing and future health workforce needs of the Goldfields.
Always inspiring to visit the Albany RSL Sub-branch, this time to check out the new power switchboard, and hot water, systems installed by local Albany tradies thanks to a grant I'd been working with the RSL on under the Stronger Communities Programme.

I was inspired to run for Parliament following my involvement in a decade-long campaign to deregulate the wheat industry, which brought about the end of the Australian Wheat Board’s monopoly.
