Huge thanks to the team at Newmont’s Cadia mine, near Orange for the underground tour. Cadia is one of Australia’s largest gold mining operations & also produces copper & molybdenum. A major employer & contributor to the prosperity of the region. The Nationals #lovegippsland

Historic Bathurst has a magnificent carillon, built as a memorial to the fallen, after WW1. Opened in 1933, the former Federal Government provided funding for a major upgrade. Well done to community volunteers for maintaining this memorial in beautiful surroundings. #LestWeForget

Thank you for your service. Dedication ‘For Every Drop Shed in Anguish’ sculpture was a powerful reminder of the suffering & sacrifices made to protect our freedoms. Well done to the veterans & family members who made this possible. Lest we forget. Aust War Memorial Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling

Thank you for your service… our world famous RAAF Roulettes have been doing some international diplomacy, representing Australia at the Singapore Airshow. But it’s a long way home to the East Sale RAAF Base & they’ve been sharing some amazing pix of their journey! #lovegippsland

See Australia first… perfect weekend in far east Gippsland and Mallacoota is looking a treat. So many amazing places to explore in rural, regional and coastal Australia… starting with my own Gippsland backyard! #lovegippsland #seeaustraliafirst #backroads Heather Ewart

Thank you for your service. My thoughts with my good friend Joel and his family as they deal with this tragic loss. Rest in peace, Jack. Lest we forget.

Terrific to see the end result for hard working volunteers at the Mallacoota Gun Club. Four years after the Black Summer bushfires they have built back better and looking forward to welcoming more visitors and new members. Putting a bushfire recovery grant to use! #lovegippsland

Australia’s longest wooden jetty at Port Germein. As a kid who grew up fishing at Lakes Entrance, I’m a self-confessed ‘wharf rat’ and can’t resist walking on any jetties/piers/wharves when we travel. This one is a beauty. #seeaustraliafirst #lovegippsland

Taking my own advice to ‘see Australia first’ with a road trip to the Eyre Peninsula. What a place… filled with amazing landscapes and seascapes. A photographer’s dream. And can confirm the nation has been over-run with grey nomads! #seeaustraliafirst #lovegippsland

The federal Dept of Climate Change, Energy the Environment and Water has awarded consultants a taxpayer-funded contract to advise on “options to address Victoria’s forecast electricity supply shortfall.” theaustralian.com.au/nation/vic-min… #auspol #springst

The glorious irony of the Minister who pushed for a ban on new gas connections to Victorian households defending her record on gas! At least Madeleine King MP understands the importance of the Australian resource sector… unlike the entire Victorian Labor Government #lovegippsland

The world record for BS. Just tell the truth occasionally Lily… 60% of Victoria’s energy still comes from Latrobe Valley brown coal. It’s OK to say ‘Thankyou’ to the power station workers who keep the lights on… real Labor used to love blue collar workers. #lovegippsland

How safe are the roads on your commute? 🤔 450,000 km of roads around Australia have been rated for their safety on a star rating scale out of five. Under immense pressure from road safety advocates, the Federal Government recently committed to requiring state and territory

As former Minister there was no more reliable source of information & insights into the needs of veterans & their families than Gavin Pearce. A likeable larrikin with a sharp wit & abundant common sense, his decision to not contest the next election is Federal Parliament’s loss.

Fantastic decision by Mia Davies to seek preselection for the new seat of Bullwinkel. A proven fighter for WA, Mia will bring a healthy dose of common sense to Canberra. Intelligent, determined, experienced and passionate… she will make a huge difference! #auspol The Nationals
