As we all take time to reflect on the year and the many blessings in our lives, I wanted to thank you for your support in 2019.

I am incredibly grateful for the continuing feedback, advice and encouragement I receive from our local community. It's a tremendous honour to serve the southern Gold Coast and to contribute to the future of our nation as part of the Morrison Government.

I know your time is precious - especially at this time of year - so I thought I'd forgo the political wrap up or discussion about next year's many challenges.

Instead, I just want to sincerely wish you, your family and friends a safe, joyous and relaxing Christmas.

May the magic of the season be yours and may the new year bring you and your loved ones good health and great happiness.

One of the things that makes this time so special is how, as a community, we reach out to those less fortunate and remind them that we care. Many people are doing it tough at the moment, and I know we extend them our love as well all the practical assistance we can offer. Thank you to everyone who donates and volunteers to make Christmas special for others.

Enjoy the break and I look forward to catching up in 2020.

Until then,
