SATURDAY SMALL BUSINESS SHOUT OUT: BONVILLE SERVO ⛽️☕️📮
Great to catch up for a chat with Adam at the well loved Bonville Servo last week.
Adam and his lovely wife Jodi purchased the business 11 years ago and have turned a humble petrol station into an unofficial town centre.
With a busy Post office, great coffee shop and tasty snacks and lunches on offer, it’s not hard to understand why so many choose to stop and stay a while. While the business has grown, the sense of good old fashioned country customer service has remained unchanged. A testament to Adam and Jodi’s strong appreciation of community. So good to see.
Looking forward to stopping by a#bonvilleservoo#bonvillev#shoplocale#supportlocalS#smallbusinessmallBusiness

CANDO COFFS HARBOUR RECEIVE MUCH NEEDED FUNDING BOOST
Wonderful to meet with passionate CanDo volunteers in Coffs Harbour this week to celebrate their successful volunteer grant application.
The group were awarded $3,500 to cover their annual insurance costs, as well as providing volunteers with shirts and name badges. The funding means that every dollar donated to CanDo will be provided to local cancer patients in need, as they should be!
Given the current cost of living crisis, this financial year CanDo have seen demand for assistance increase by upwards of 25% from last year. They have already provided $48,000 in financial support in the first 4 months of this financial year to those undergoing cancer treatment in need of help, from fuel vouchers to electricity costs and even refrigeration for patient medications and supplements.
Without the support of CanDo’s volunteers and donors, many patients health outcomes would be significantly impacted.
A wonderful team doing amazing things for people in need in our commun#CanDo##cancersupportu#VolunteerGrantr#coffsharbourarbour

MENS SHED VOLUNTEERS RECEIVE A BOOST 🔧🪚🔨
Great to be in Nambucca yesterday to personally congratulate the Nambucca Heads Mens Shed team on their successful volunteer grant application.
The team were awarded $3,286 for the purchase of Ear Safety Plugs, a new electric chainsaw and batteries, fuel vouchers, liability insurance and internet service fees.
If you haven't seen the incredible handiwork that the members and volunteers create for so many community organisations around the mid north coast, you really should. From hand made cubby boxes for local preschools to reconditioned pallet tables and so much more, the Nambucca Heads Mens Shed is more than just a meeting place, its a chance to give back to the community.
Congratulations team on your successful application, you deserve it.

HOW WE COMPARE TO OTHER NATIONS
While the treasurer continues the narrative of ‘global forces’ somehow beyond control, the average Australian is feeling the pinch. And for those households with a mortgage, you’re now shouldering the burden of compounded bad federal fiscal decisions.
Australia is worse off than comparable economies around the world. All facing the same ‘global forces’.
Our cash rate is now at its highest level in 18 years. It’s time to recognise the course we are on is not sustainable.
And as if that wasn’t enough, a $170 billion black hole has been discovered in Labor’s federal budget.
They either don’t know where the $170 billion went, or they do know and are hiding it from the Australian people. It’s hard to know which is worse.
Australians are paying for Labor’s out-of-control spending today in higher inflation and interest rates. And they’ll pay for it tomorrow in higher debt and taxes.
Because the more Labor spends, the more Australians pay.
A Coalition Government will cut wasteful spending, and pay down Labor’s debt.
