As this is the last parliamentary sitting week of the year, I would like to wish everybody in the Flynn electorate a very merry Christmas. With this special day fast approaching, I wanted to quickly speak about some of the fantastic events that are on over the next couple of weeks in the region in Central Queensland. There is the Biloela Christmas Festival, Blackwater QCWA Twilight Christmas Markets and the Mount Larcom District Progress Association Christmas Fair, which is on this Saturday. I'm sure this will be enjoyed by each of those communities. Make sure to say 'g'day' to the Flynn team if you see us out and about at one of these events. There's also the Gayndah Christmas Market, on from 4 December until 8 December, the Gladstone Mayor's Carols on 6 December and the Moore Park Beach Christmas seaside event on 15 December. This is only a few of the many events that are on in Central Queensland.

There are many organisations across Central Queensland that spread a little Christmas cheer over the holiday period by coordinating activities and appeals to help people who might be in need, and I thank these organisations for the valuable work that they can do. In conclusion, it has been a privilege to serve and represent Flynn in the federal parliament in 2024. My team and I look forward to serving the Flynn electorate into the new year and continue our commitment to take Flynn forward.
