Honoured to attend two more moving Anzac Day services this afternoon:

Out and about in Eurobodalla Shire yesterday with Andrew Constance including:
✅ Speaking at a community meeting with 250+ citizens and accepting a 18,000 signature petition to take to Parliament to keep open the Batemans Bay emergency department, which the Minns Labor Government intends to close
✅ Checking (non-)progress of the new Eurobodalla Hospital announced in 2020 - still an empty paddock
✅ Checking (non-)progress on the Moruya bypass - no commitment to any timetable and no update since the 2022 consultation report under the previous government (see short video in comments below). ... See MoreSee Less
