Hastings electorate ministerial visit
Paul MERCURIO (Hastings) (10:03): Firstly, I would like to thank Minister Stitt for coming out to my electorate and meeting with several groups that covered all of her ministerial portfolios. Our first meeting was with the Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders, specifically to talk about issues of elder abuse. We then dropped down to the Kindred Clubhouse to talk about the work they do supporting people with various mental health issues, and we heard firsthand from club members how important the club is to them. Lastly, we visited Sikh Volunteers Australia and toured their amazing kitchen, capable of pumping out 8000 meals a day, and also had a look at their food truck, which had recently returned from supporting those affected by the devastating floods in Taree, New South Wales.
