My toddler and I picked out two cakes. We picked them out early because they always run out; the stall is so popular. We shuffled through hundreds and hundreds of books, and finally landed on Dumbo. We had a snow cone hand churned by local parents. It was the Sherwood State School fete, and we went there last Saturday. It's always a big effort in our community, and I want to take the opportunity to thank the P&C president, Paul Arias-Winnister, and principal, Lisa Masek, for making it happen. It's a fete that brings our community together, between rides, stalls, plants, clothes, toys, books and well-timed for Mothers Day, with cakes, sweets and a special stall. I want to congratulate every single parent who makes that fete tick. Later this year, we'll also celebrate the school's 160th anniversary—in 2027, next year. It's operated continuously since 1867, and the school is on the Queensland heritage register, with buildings dating back to the 1880s. It's a very special part of my local community.

I visited Runcorn State School community hub just the other day.

Last week I walked into a classroom at Runcorn State School. The shelves were filled with toys, the tables were adorned with cupcakes, and, importantly, mums and babies from across my local electorate were coming together in the community. It's part of Community Hubs, which have received federal funding from our government for the last three years and have so for over a decade. I want to congratulate Principal Meg McClure for hosting the community hub and Miss Tammy, who runs the local program at Runcorn State School. It brings together students from all backgrounds, and they have access to small and caring yet safe and challenging educational environments, whether that's conversational English, relaxed coffee catch-ups, playgroups, crafts or a First Nations group. They create a space of familiarity with the school environment, setting up successful transitions to prep.

We now have 33 endometriosis and pelvic pain clinics open across this country, and I was lucky enough to visit one of them the other day, the Oxley endometriosis and pelvic pain clinic. It's called Evoca Women's Health centre in Oxley. We were there with members of QENDO, which is ably led by their CEO, Jess Taylor; nurses; and GPs from that clinic. They're proud to be one of the clinics to be recognised by the federal government to provide expert, multidisciplinary services and care for pelvic pain and women with endometriosis. It's part of the biggest package that this government has put in place for women's health, and I was delighted to share with Dr Than, Dr Thein and Dr Kosaka on the brilliant work they do.
