This is a vital service, and I have spoken to so many people - doctors and patients - over the last few months who have been disgusted with the cuts that came into effect at the end of 2021. This service sees 50,000 patients a year and provides 70,000 telephone consultations, alleviates pressure on overstretched hospitals and has been estimated to save the broader health system almost $22 million per year. Labor understands how important Medicare and GP Access After Hours service is, and we will protect it. | TRUE | health | Significant national, state or multi-electorate funding | https://www.facebook.com/100058285320773/posts/349086763710832 | Marginal | Labor | FALSE | |||||||||||||||||||

Massive thanks to the Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation for their contribution of $10 million towards the project, along with a commitment to additional community fundraising of $2.5 million; the City of Newcastle for its substantial contribution of $16.2 million and the Margaret Olley Art Trust for its gift of $0.5 million. Additional thanks must go to the Newcastle Art Gallery Expansion Working Party, the Newcastle Art Gallery Society, the Gallery Director Lauretta Morton OAM and the people of Newcastle, who never gave up. This announcement of $5 million from the Federal Government today goes some way to restoring the $7 million that the Gillard Labor government provided for this project back in 2011. Tragically plans for the art gallery expansion were kiboshed shortly after Labors commitment was made, forcing the funds to be diverted to the Glendale Interchange project in 2013 instead.

62 | 2022-02-03 | Michelle Landry | Capricornia | Capricornia | QLD | Coalition | 12.4 | Money for a replacement bridge | The Liberal and Nationals Government is committing $14.4 million to replace the Phillips Creek Bridge on Saraji Road, pending a funding agreement being reached with the Queensland Labor state government. I'm so pleased to have fought for and secured this funding commitment! A replacement bridge will support year-round access for the benefit of the businesses that depend on this key freight route. These improvements to safety and year-round accessibility would help our area to grow and prosper. The project would also provide an important economic boost for local communities, supporting an expected 42 jobs during construction and helping drive our regions economic recovery. It is a key link between Dysart and Moranbah, and mining businesses in the region rely heavily on the route to get their products to market. Flooding closes the Phillips Creek Bridge periodically throughout the year, costing businesses millions and causing frustrating delays for motorists. A replacement bridge would make the highway safer, more flood resilient and keep motorists and freight moving. The Federal Government is committed to investing $14.4 million (80 per cent) in the $18 million project. Consistent with the usual funding arrangements for regional projects, the Queensland Government would fund the remaining $3.6 million (20 per cent).Photos from Michelle Landry's post | TRUE | infrastructure | Local discretionary funding | 14,400,000 | https://www.facebook.com/100057936676095/posts/361683502439536 | Safe | Coalition | FALSE | ||||||||||||||||||

Mike (L) and Mark (R) from the Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre recently raised $200,000 through a community fundraising campaign to secure not one, but two sleepbuses here in Maroochydore. The very first of their kind in Queensland. If you don't know, this unique charity re-purposes buses to create a safe and portable environment for homeless people to have a safe night sleep. After a challenging 15 months to secure the $100,000 needed for the first bus, Mark and Mike were straight back at it and just two weeks later they successfully raised another $100,000 to deliver a second bus designed specifically to cater for women and children. Congratulations Mike and Mark and all of the members of our community who supported this great project. I was glad this morning to support the Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre by way of a $10,000 grant to renew office furniture and tonight I'll be joining the CEO of sleepbus Simon Rowe to volunteer.

64 | 2022-02-04 | Andrew Gee | Calare | Calare | NSW | Coalition | 13.3 | At 2am, six days a week, the lights are still on at Lifeline Central West in Orange, with volunteers and staff answering calls and providing crisis support to those in need. Across Australia, Lifelines 13 11 14 support line is dialled every 30 seconds, and its largely volunteers, from as near as Orange and Bathurst, to as far as Perth, who receive the call, listen, and provide counsel to those on the other end. This week, I visited Lifeline Central West and met some of the amazing staff who give so much of their time, and of themselves, to make sure that in times of need, help is there 24/7. I also met Honey Crumpet and Evelyn Crumpet, the four-legged Lifeline helpers, who simply couldn't help but put a smile of your dial - and have an afternoon nap! Thanks to $15,000 in Federal Government support, the hard-working team of volunteers and staff at Lifeline Central West in Orange now have a new kitchen to make a cup of tea and have a bite to eat, a good-sized fridge with plenty of space to store food, and a dishwasher, too. They can also take a breather outside, with a table and chairs now set up in the courtyard. The Australian Government has also helped kit out the phone rooms in Orange and Bathurst with new headsets, office chairs and computer equipment. If you're interested in becoming a Lifeline Volunteer Telephone Crisis Supporter, there's a free information zoom session on Thursday 10 February at 6pm. Call 1300 798 258 for more details. Lifeline Central West is also hosting a Mental Health Night with live music, a free BBQ, mental health stalls and a Q&A session on Thursday 10 February from 5pm-7pm at Orange Function Centre.

The Museum also gives visitors a chance to stroll back to 1887, with a wander around a cottage built by a son for this mother 135 years ago. The wonderful exhibits and experiences to be had at the Oberon and District Museum are only possible thanks to the care, creativity and commitment of the Museums team of volunteers, who throw open the doors in the morning, lock up at night, and do everything in between! That's why I'm thrilled the Museum has received two Federal Government grants totalling $9,250!

If progressed, a new weir holding up to 6,000 megalitres could increase water availability by up to 17 gigalitres per year for the Macquarie-Wambuul communities.

70 | 2022-02-08 | Llew Obrien | Wide Bay | Wide Bay | QLD | Coalition | 13.1 | Grant for disability support facility | If the measure of a community is how it treats its sick, disabled and dying, then Noosa should be commended. It has two unique places that are treasured safe havens for those that are ignored or worse in less-fortunate corners of the world. Sunshine Butterflies, a disability support charity, and Katie Rose Hospice, which cares for people navigating their final phase of life, are community-driven, not-for-profits, valued by the Noosa communities who donate to them, fundraise for them, and volunteer there. When it comes to government support, none are more deserving. Thats why the Morrison Joyce Government announced $1.5 million to extend Katie Rose Cottage Hospice so that more terminally-ill people, and their families, navigating the final stage of their lives can be supported. Its where the dying share their final moments with their families and friends in a comfortable home environment with dedicated, professional and compassionate care. The difference is that the dying mother at Katie Rose can watch her children playing around her, swimming in the pool, and exploring the garden, rather than being alone in a cold hospital room. That a dying father can eat a home-cooked meal and share a room with his wife on his last night. The bereaved who Katie Rose Cottage supported could not speak more highly of it because they had help during one of the most challenging times of their lives. Our commitment to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice will mean up to 20 more Sunshine Coast residents approaching the end of their life can access the level and type of care they need in their final weeks and months. While Katie Rose cares for the dying and their families, Sunshine Butterflies changes the lives of individuals living with disabilities and their families. Their vibrant home base, Our Backyard at Cooroibah, will now feature an accessible playground, caf, and stage roof over an accessible stage with the help of a $135,000 grant from the Morrison Joyce Government. Its a place that delights children of all ages with their music, colour and movement, chooks, ponies and peacocks, and now they will have a playground where no child, no matter their disability, will be excluded from. To Carol Raye and Leanne Walsh of Katie Rose Cottage Hospice and Sunshine Butterflies and your teams, you have shown a community that cares can achieve with dedication and perseverance.

The Australian and New South Wales governments have committed $6 million to undertake a business case into the construction of a 10 kilometre pipeline between Lake Rowlands and Carcoar Dam, as well as options to raise the existing Lake Rowlands Dam or construct a new dam downstream. The proposed new Lake Rowlands Dam would increase existing water storage capacity from 4 gigalitres up to between 8.5 gigalitres and 30 gigalitres, while the new Lake Rowlands to Carcoar Dam pipeline would enable transferring 25 megalitres of water per day. This would increase the availability, reliability, efficiency and quality of water for agricultural and primary industry use in the Lachlan Valley. Ive been pushing for this pipeline and upgrade for Lake Rowlands for a long time and have even hosted Central Tablelands Water at Parliament House in Canberra. The business case is a crucial step in bringing these projects to life. It will guide the action we take to support these initiatives and the future water security of this region. A new dam wall at Lake Rowlands is a very bright hope for a new dam project in our area. Were doing the groundwork now to ensure farmers and communities across the Central Tablelands can access the water they need, when they need it. The Australian Government is providing $2.7 million towards the Belubula Water Security Scheme business case, with the New South Wales Government contributing $3.3 million.

The Mallacoota Surf Lifesaving Club caravan was destroyed in the Black Summer bushfires and I was able to work with the Minderoo Foundation to secure a new van. Lakes Entrance SLSC held a fundraiser to get some money for new equipment and the club volunteers were back in action on Bastion Beach. Now were going bigger and better with a $2.5 million Federal Government grant for a purpose-built facility to house the surf lifesaving club, SES and coast guard. The grant will provide a more permanent home for equipment, training and meetings for all the volunteers who do a terrific job keeping locals and visitors safe on the land, and at sea. Well done to everyone involved. #lovegippslandPhotos from Darren Chester MP's postVictoria Saving Life MALLACOOTA SURF LIFE SAVINGCLUB CUE SURF SURFRESCUEF RESCUF _DHL L | TRUE | community | Local discretionary funding | 2,500,000 | https://www.facebook.com/100053962193018/posts/445037270638342 | Safe | Coalition | FALSE | |||||||||||||||||||
95 | 2022-02-18 | Rebecca Fanning | Longman | Longman | QLD | Labor | 3.3 | BREAKING: An Albanese Labor Government will fund the reopening of the Morayfield Health Hub's Minor Accident and Illness Centre. Labor will invest $3.75 million to see the clinic reopen its doors to locals meaning families in the Moreton Bay Region will have better access to urgent healthcare. This will take pressure off our local Emergency Department. The clinic had to close its doors in October last year as a result of the Morrison Government's lack of funding. Labor will always back local healthcare services.

97 | 2022-02-21 | Andrew Gee | Calare | Calare | NSW | Coalition | 13.3 | On the second Saturday of each month, members of the Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak are up at the crack of dawn setting up the Orange Farmers Market. It was great to catch up with the Club at the February market to check out their new pantech truck, a moving-van-like vehicle which contains everything the group need to set-up the market - like tables, chairs, gazebos, bunting and fencing! Supported by a $10,000 Federal Government grant, the group were able to get the cab and chassis - which had seen better days! - replaced with a brand new parts. The upgrades mean the group can hit the road in the truck to help other Rotary Clubs across the region hold fundraising events, like at Molong, Forbes and Lake Cargelligo.
