G’day John,

First, thank you to everyone who has sent me emails and texts wishing me well following my spinal surgery. The good news is that the operation went very well, and I am finally getting back to 100%.

I’ve got a few inquiries coming up so when I haven’t been catching up on the news, I have been reading through submissions. I have included a summary of these inquiries at the end of this newsletter in case you would like to get involved!

Like all Australians, I was horrified by the terrorist attack on Jewish Australians at Bondi on December 14^th. My heart goes out to that community and especially to the families who had their loved ones taken from them in the most awful way imaginable.

The day after the attack my phone wouldn’t stop ringing. It was the veterans. Soldiers who fought in  Afghanistan and Iraq for 20 years. They were also horrified, traumatised and angry.

I will be at the Townsville RSL on Sunday 18^th of January from 10-2pm. Please pass this on to any veterans who might be up for coming along.

Before it was announced that parliament would return early, I booked a work trip to Townsville and Brisbane. I want to hear directly from veterans about the impact of the attack on them and what ideas they have for keeping all Australians safe in the future.

So, I am not going back for the sitting on the 19^th & 20^th of January. But I will be staying in touch with the Senate, and my votes will be recorded.

I will have more to say on the attack and the government’s approach in the coming days.
