24 November was a massive day for my community, proving that we do what we say we are going to do.

On 24 November, Mernda Community Hospital opened to bring care closer to home for my community. On that same day, major works commenced on the Yan Yean Road stage 2 upgrade. So it was a great day for my community, and it shows that we are delivering what we say we are going to deliver and that we can be trusted that when we say we are going to do something we get it done.

And those who also get it done are Dan, Pam and Gaweshi in my office, along with Pooja and Ruby. I want to thank them, along with Nella and Margaret, fantastic volunteers who mean that we can better serve the community by having all hands on deck. I know they show great care to constituents when they contact my office, and I definitely could not do it without them.
