Had a fantastic meeting today with Bronwyn and Lucy from CAFNEC at Cairns Regional Council. I am proud to fully support their call for the State Government to fund QCoast2100 and establish a QHeat 2050 program that promotes nature-based solutions. With climate resilience becoming increasingly important, it's vital that we invest in programs that will help protect our environment and communities. Let's work together towards a sustainable future! #climatechange #environmentalprotection #sustainability

GREAT NEWS! Krystsina “Kita” Charankova (aka Kristina Cherenkova), a Belarusian anti-fascist arrested by the dictatorship in 2022 for allegedly criticizing said dictatorship & their support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has just been released from prison! We wish her all the best!

Exciting news for art lovers! Mulgrave Gallery is set to open in 2024 as part of the Cairns Gallery Precinct. This new gallery space is the result of renovations to the former Mulgrave Shire Council Chambers, a heritage-listed building constructed in 1912. The renovation works ensure the preservation of the building for future generations. The Cairns Gallery Precinct will connect three existing heritage-listed buildings, including Cairns Art Gallery and Court House Gallery, to create a world-class gallery precinct. This transformation will offer a dynamic art experience for visitors and locals alike. Stay tuned for updates on the opening of Mulgrave Gallery and the Cairns Gallery Precinct. It's set to become a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts! hashtag#MulgraveGallery hashtag#CairnsGalleryP

As the newly elected Councillor of Division 5, I'm thrilled to see progress being made on the All Abilities Changing Room project on the Esplanade. Having supported this initiative for a while now, I know firsthand how important it is to ensure accessibility for all members of our community. I look forward to closely following the development of this crucial project and seeing the positive impact it will have on our community. #AllAbilitiesChangingRoom#AccessibilityMatters#CommunityDevelopment

Never 'kick down' - welfare recipients are not the problem. The issue lies with big money that fuels bribery and financial corruption, ultimately leading to bad policy decisions. Conservative governments tend to prioritise the wealthy and powerful, favoring those who can contribute or donate to their political machine. It is time to work towards fair and just policies that benefit all Australians, irrespective of their socio-economic status. Let's strive for a more equitable and inclusive future. #fairpolicies #governmentcorruption #equalityforall

The charging stations at Raintrees Shopping Centre are a vivid reminder that the renewable energy transition is happening right now. It's a step in the right direction towards a sustainable future. While it would have been great if we had reached this point 20 years ago, the push for Climate Action is stronger than ever, and we need more of these initiatives to drive the change. Let's continue to work together towards a cleaner and greener tomorrow. #RenewableEnergy#ClimateAction#Sustainability

It is a rainy relaxing day, giving me time to organise my email lists, files, and folders to better serve the residents of Division 5 over the next 4 years. By taking the time to streamline my processes, I’ll get more done. I’m looking forward to making a positive impact on our inner city suburbs. #communityservice #publicservice #localgovernment #efficiency #organization

Today, a new friend of mine, James Coll, was counted out of the poll for Division 5. His preference mainly went to Nathan Lee Long and myself, leaving me just over 300 votes ahead of Emma Gelling, Div 5 Candidate for Team Eden. Meanwhile, in Division 4, there has been an upset with Shane Cuthbert's preferences delivering victory to Trevor Tim, Div.4 Candidate for Team Eden. Stay tuned for more updates on the election results. #electionresults #teameden #div5 #div4

There is a better way than this. Always look for a progressive alternative.

I support a policy for a free City Loop Bus servicing Bungalow, Cairns North, Parramatta Park, Westcourt and Cairns CBD. It would provide frequent public transport access to CBD locations, such as the Cairns Hospital and Services Australia. #cairns #transport

My goal is a progressive inner-city that embraces our first people, as well as the LGBTQI and multicultural communities. A greater focus on celebrating the arts and the environment, while taking advantage of Cairns as a centre for tropical excellence and higher education. This is part of my vision for our city heart, so it was great to catch up with people who share the dream at rusty’s. Thank you to Helena YN and Jane Simpson and good luck Renee Lees for Division 7 - Community First Cairns and Nicole Sleeman for Cairns Division 6 #cairns

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Himalayan Dreams, a book by the talented Kirsty Nancarrow, featuring the work of my friend and wonderful human, Som Tamang. Som is the epitome of a 'Champion of the Underdog,' and it was an honour to witness his achievements. Events like this make me proud of Cairns and the incredible talent it fosters. Congratulations to Som and Kirsty on this amazing accomplishment! #HimalayanDreams #Cairns #ChampionOfTheUnderdog
