Last weekend, I spent some time in the great suburb of Peakhurst, right in the middle of my electorate of Banks, knocking on doors and speaking to residents. The locals in Peakhurst are focused on looking out for their health, ensuring their kids get the best start in life and managing their cost of living. I was so pleased to be able to tell the people of Peakhurst that, because of this Labor government's record investment in Medicare, there are now two fully bulk-billing GP clinics in Peakhurst.

I was also able to tell residents that, thanks to the Labor government's Better and Fairer Schools Agreement, Peakhurst Public School, Peakhurst West Public School and Peakhurst South Public School will all be fully funded and that recurrent funding from the federal government has already grown significantly since we came to government.

Last week, I was able to tell people about the government's suite of cost-of-living measures. Among them is the further tax cut they will be getting in just 91 days. Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with me. I look forward to being back out in my community, knocking on doors, as soon as I get back from this place. I look forward to making sure the community's concerns are heard and this government can continue to work for them.
