I'd like to really thank the people of Boothby for their generosity in coming out to share with me their concerns and interests over the last 10 months. Particular thanks to Jason and Kelly from Banana Boogie Bakery in Belair—a bit of a mouthful—where I attended with the local state member, Catherine Hutchesson, the member for Waite, and Premier Peter Malinauskas. The following week we enjoyed the fantastic coffee at Omnivore Cafe in Ascot Park. We then visited Sam and Louise at It Takes a Village—a special shout-out to their staff member Hannah. Mitcham Square Shopping Centre on a busy Saturday morning is also a fantastic experience, and it's lovely to meet with so many people. Last Saturday I was at Marino Community Hall for a farewell before the old hall gets knocked down and redeveloped. Brighton Sunday Market is completely volunteer run—a busy fortnightly market offering fruit and veg, a range of snacks and, most importantly, coffee, as well as second-hand goods, arts and crafts, collectables and a whole range of new items for sale at bargain prices. It's a great community event and a fantastic atmosphere.

It's been lovely to chat to Boothby residents about their thoughts, their concerns and their ideas to make Boothby an even better place to live, play, study and work. They talk to me about a whole range of things: cost of living, health care, the upgrade of the Flinders Medical Centre, submarines, cost of cancer treatment—all really valuable. Thank you very much.
