💪🏼🌾💰STRONGER COUNTRY COMMUNITIES FUNDS FOR COOTA AND MUTTAMA💰🌾💪🏼 Being able to hand out funding to fantastic community projects is one of the best parts of my job.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the application process, I’m so excited to see these projects get underway.

🌾🎨WONDER OF WEETHALLE🎨🌾 When I’m away from the electorate I find myself a little bit homesick and missing the amazing sights of our region.
The Weethalle Silo Art celebrates the importance of the agricultural sector with this remarkable artwork, it’s impossible to drive past without stopping and taking a snap.
What are some of your stunning sights from around the Cootamundra Electorate?

ANY 🌧 WHERE YOU ARE?
I hope some of you are getting under the beautiful rain we have seen in #Young so far today.
So many parts of the electorate and the state are crying out for rain, every drop seems like a mini miracle.
If you’ve been lucky enough to get some, I’d love to know what you got!

We’ve had more Stronger Country Communities Fund

We’ve had more Stronger Country Communities Fund announcements today, with more than $774,000 coming Junee Shire’s way for a range of projects. $241,300 is going in to upgrading the Junee skate park, something these guys are happy about.
I’ll do many things for the love of this job, but jumping on a scooter at a skate park isn’t quite one of them.

The Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group were kind eno

The Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group were kind enough to take me out on a tour of the beautiful but terribly burnt #kosciuszkonationalpark
While the bush is bouncing back the damage of feral animals is making things even harder for our recovering flora and fauna.
Thanks so much for taking me out and about Alan and the SMBUG committee

🌾DEPUTY PREMIER DROUGHT TOUR🌾

It was so great to meet with Chris and Oliver Groves at their farm in Cowra today to show the Deputy Premier @johnbarilaro just how much the #drought is continuing to bite.
This drought is far from over and while many people in the state have been lucky enough to get under some rain, not everyone has been so fortunate.
Thank you so much for your time today and for sharing your story. We will keep working to get you the support you need to get through.

👏🎒EA SOUTHEE CAPTAINS SHOW THEIR LEADERSHIP🎒👏 I got to meet the amazing captains and student leaders from EA Southee Public School in Cootamundra today.
These amazing young people took a pledge to lead their fellow students and are taking on the responsibility of looking after others.
This was the third time I have been able to hand out the leadership badges at EA Southee, thank you for having me and great job posing up a storm!

📚🎒BIG TALK WITH SMALL STUDENTS 🎒📚 There are 79 schools in my electorate and every one is dedicated to giving our students the best start in life.
Over the past couple of days I’ve been popping in to some of them to meet students and staff, answer questions and see how the school year is shaping up.
Thank you to everyone who has hosted me so far and I look forward to seeing more of you as the year goes on.

🥾🏔TUMBATREK 2020🏔🥾
I had the most amazing time at #tumbatrek. The Snowy Valleys region has been devasted by #bushfires and it is so important that we get back to visiting these communities and let everyone know they are open for business.
This amazing event from @snowyvalleyscouncil continues the beautiful legacy left by the late Tim Fischer who was always focused on getting out in to communities and talking to people about their lives and the challenges they are facing.
It was wonderful to catch up with so many people from the #tumbarumba community.
A huge congratulations to everyone involved in organising this fantastic event and to @m_mccormackmp who completed his 9th Tumbatrek this weekend!
