Since being elected as the member for Tangney my aspiration has been to faithfully represent the interests of my constituents. To do this I believe open and honest communication plays an important role. In the last 15 months we have done many coffee catch-ups with lots of constituents. I was delighted when I got an invitation from Cafe Denada to host a community coffee catch-up at their shop in Mount Pleasant. This is why I want to share today the joy having participated in such a successful gathering with constituents has brought me. The positive atmosphere makes it so addictive to me.

On this occasion so many Tangney constituents gathered to talk about our democracy, the future they dream for our country and also their worries and concerns. It was an opportunity to experience a sense of connection and build a stronger relationship with our community. I'm looking forward to going back to my electorate of Tangney and having the opportunity to do more coffee catch-ups and more community catch-ups with the people of Tangney.
