LINDA’S “VINE” LINES March 08

State Member for Kurwongbah

As we move into the year (and isn’t it going fast) March is a very busy month.  International Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th of March and this year’s theme is Queensland Women: Shaping the Future.  March 15th is also World Consumer Rights Day which promotes the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose and the right to be heard.  Don’t forget if you would like to meet with me but are unable to come to Strathpine, I am happy to meet you in Dayboro, just phone my office on 3205 6779 and either Gai or Sean will help you.

WELCOME BACK
