I was pleased announce, along with the Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack, our government will fund an expansion and upgrade of the Emerald Saleyards and The proposed Nogoa River Recreational Track.
This is thanks to Round 3 of the highly successful Building Better Regions Fund. We toured both sites this afternoon. Another great win for Flynn.
You know how frustrating it is when Google Maps tells you to turn... with about 10 seconds notice? In Australia, satellite positioning technology is only accurate to within about five metres. The Liberal National Party is about to change that. We're trialling a technology called Satellite-Based Augmentation System, which will bring the accuracy of positioning data down to about 10 centimetres. That means more accurate maps on your phone, and better precision farming equipment like tractors. One of the trial sites is just outside Emerald, where Ken O'Dowd MP is working hard bringing the LNP Senate Team to SwarmFarms Robotics for a briefing on their high-tech farming trial.
Federal Member for Flynn, Ken O'Dowd MP is encouraging schools and communities to stand together for the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence.
“We all have the ability to make a difference, whether you are a member of a sporting or other community group for young people, if you work with young people, or if you provide health services to children and young people, you have an important role in ensuring all children are safe from bullying,” Mr O'Dowd told Gladstone News.
Mr O’Dowd said it is crucial for adults, particularly those with public profiles provide positive examples for children and young people of respectful behaviour and of appropriate ways to deal with conflict.
“It is also important that we learn how to respond when we see bullying happening in our community. There are many useful resources available online at bullyingnoway.gov.au,” Mr O’Dowd explained.
