Don’t forget the Bellingen Show is on this weekend at the Showground. The weather was perfect today for the riders, exhibitors and wood choppers as well as the many market sellers (I may have purchased a bottle of Emerald Island Distillery Dark Seed Gin for someone for Mother’s Day but don’t tell her!)
Come along this afternoon or tomorrow to experience real regional living at its finest and support our locals.
Thank you to the Bellinger River Agricultural Society Inc for a delicious lunch! Congratulations to everyone involved for putting on such a successful show #bellingenshire.#bellingenshowi#agshowsnswe#supportlocalsnsw #supportlocal

NSW SES North Eastern Zone Awards Ceremony
It was humbling to be able to present the awards to our outstanding SES Volunteers this morning in Coffs Harbour. The service of our dedicated members at this morning’s presentation collectively added up to 517 years in total!
Simply incredible.
I would like to thank every reward recipient for your years of service and for keeping our community safe. You so often put yourselves in harms way for the protection of others.
Thanks should also go to all of our other frontline emergency service volunteers who do it because they care. You all deserve recogniti#volunteerappreciationi#NSWSESN#SESAwardsA#coffsharbourarbour

As we head into Budget week, a timely reminder of the rampant spending we have seen in recent years that has amounted to $50k a minute being spent on interest on the National debt.
That’s YOUR money that took you a year to earn and Labor a minute to burn on interest repayments alone.
3 average Aussie’s Income Tax payments go towards this every single minute.
Not on roads, or health care, or nation building projects. Just interest.

WHY ARE AUSTRALIANS EXPECTED TO PAY FOR ISIS BRIDE DECISIONS?
I have declined to comment on this particular issue over the past few days as I genuinely wanted to see the actions that the Labor Government would take, rather than fuelling unnecessary panic amongst the community.
But with the imminent arrival of the ISIS brides and their families now upon us, the time to give ‘benefit of the doubt' has passed.
Enough is enough. The Minister had a number of existing powers at his disposal to keep these individuals off our shores, which he has failed to use. Rather than acting in the best interest of our citizens, we have instead seen complete inaction from a Minister who behaves as though he is a bystander or commentator rather than the ultimate decision maker.
His passivity has culminated in a situation where Australian tax-payers are now likely to have to shoulder the responsibility of keeping our citizens safe.
The Minister for Home Affairs stated 'if they find they're way back to Australia and are found to have committed crimes they will face the full force of the law'. And I need to ask, what does that actually mean? Will they be held in facilities here on our shores? And if so, who is paying for that?
If not, will they walk free until they are found guilty of a crime? We KNOW that they left Australia to marry ISIS members and join the terrorist organisation. We are reasonable to suspect that their children have been radicalised. Are Australians now expected to shoulder the burden of their heinous decisions?
The Australian Government is not a passive bystander in this issue. And the Australian citizens they were elected to serve deserve bet#ISISBridesb#Laborfailsr#australianspayanspay

The Reserve Bank Governor is warning that government spending is fuelling inflation and a key contributor to the RBA decision to increase interest rates for already stretched mortgage holders fighting to keep a roof overhead.
But instead of taking responsibility, Jim Chalmers is still trying to deny it.
Labor’s policies are costing every Australian more.
That’s why The Nationals have a plan to cut immigration, dump net zero, adopt our Cheaper, Better, Fairer energy plan that uses every type of energy and we also need to end the rorting in the NDIS.
Our spending must be focussed on nation building and preservation. Not irresponsible cash splashes and vanity projects.
