Your Voice. Your Noosa.
As an Independent Member of the Queensland Parliament, I am honoured to represent the wonderful diversity that is Noosa, not a political party or personal ideology. This is liberating and empowering for the residents of our electorate and provides opportunity to create a future that you have envisioned. One that is bold in researching ideas and trialling new ways to address our challenges, through the development of partnerships and a focus on what unites. One that encourages open discussion and respectful debate which concentrates on common ground and what can be achieved. One that considers all viewpoints and perspectives, with objective research and a passion for people, that puts Noosa first.
I am your voice. It is your Noosa.

𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐉𝐔𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐔𝐒 🧑⚖️ These my final words on a bill that sought to create greater protections for our Jewish Australians. Why? Because the process failed to address the many concerns raised, gave only 1 week to have a say, and missed the most important aspect. ⚠️ Ending violence and hatred requires both major parties working together, not constantly against😡, with the saddest part the weaponizing of grief against each other. 😢 The bill had good changes, however I cannot condone such appalling behaviours and disrespect of Queenslanders, nor support legislation that follows this trend. Disgraceful in all ways, and unacceptable for QLD. See my full speech below 👇
𝐍𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐀 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 📝🏡 Queensland’s Valuer-General has just updated land valuations across Noosa and 14 other local government areas, which residents have started receiving. Revised valuations take effect from 30 June 2026 and are based on market values as of 1 October 2025. This is Noosa’s first valuation update in three years, although it can be an annual process. 💰📈![]()

𝐄-𝐌𝐎𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐈𝐍𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑T 🚲⚡has been released after receiving 1,223 submissions, including our own which outlined concerns raised by residents, police and first responders since 2022. 🚑 With a total of 28 recommendations, key proposals include restricting compliant devices to riders 16+ with at least a learners licence, defining devices that can travel above 25km/h and meet Australian Design Standards as motorbikes requiring a motorbike licence, registration and CTP insurance (restricting these to roads), anti-tampering laws, and giving police powers to seize, impound and destroy illegal devices. 👮![]()
While these recommendations are welcome, it is disappointing that it took four years of advocacy, as potentially many deaths and injuries could have been prevented. ![]()
Now it is up to government to action, and we will update as information is released.![]()
