After my successful re-election campaign, I will return for a fourth term as the Member for Southport. Along with this important role I have been appointed as the new Minister of Tourism and Fair Trading. This position also includes the Racing and Liquor Licensing portfolios.

During my time as Minister I will be visiting tourism icons all over Queensland and this page will keep track of my work. I encourage everyone to follow my travels as the Minister by reading below my entries into the Minister's Diary where I will write about my latest experiences.

Exciting tourism volunteer opportunities only a click away!

Last week, Queensland Communities Services Minister Karen Struthers and I launched a fantastic new website for volunteers in Queensland to gain some valuable experience at exciting tourism events and activities around the state. The tourism industry relies heavily on volunteers to support events, festivals, visitor centres and tourism organisations throughout the state. This web portal provides a central point for new and experienced volunteers to find out about upcoming opportunities in the tourism industry. It also highlights opportunities for people who want to combine their holiday experience with volunteering.

Organisations seeking volunteers can also register and promote their volunteering opportunities and events on the site. For more information head to www.tourismvolunteering.com.au
