Constituents know they can say g'day to me everywhere, and so they should—they're my boss. So in May this year I will spend six days methodically walking around my electorate of Moreton saying g'day to them, just after the Turnbull government budget is handed down. I'll be saying g'day from Chelmer to Acacia Ridge, from Oxley to Runcorn, from Annerley to Sunnybank and every suburb in between. Moreton people can join me for a longer early morning walk or a shorter stroll throughout the day or for a coffee or a snack in between. They can come and check out the community groups that I'll be hooking up with along the way. Saying g'day is so simple but so important. Community connections actually mean that people become healthier.

The culmination of the walk through Moreton will be a massive morning tea to showcase the many community groups who service the Southside. The Moreton Say G'day Showcase will invite all Moreton community groups and individuals to come along to see for themselves what groups are available, who they are, what they do and where they meet. I'm excited about the Moreton Say G'day Walk and the community showcase to follow. I encourage constituents and community groups to get involved. Details of the walk will be distributed closer to the date in May. If you or your community group would like to catch up on the walk or would like to host an event along the way, please call or email my office and we'll make sure that we can say g'day in Moreton in May.
