It was great to spend an afternoon in Samford Village this week to speak to people directly about the issues impacting them and how we can work together to find solutions.
And tagging along was a crew from ABC TV, who were keen to hear about the area, what makes it such a special place and how a community independent is best placed to help improve the quality of life here.
Supporting small business
Thanks to the team at Long Yard Larder, who also took time out to talk with me about better ways to support small business.
Next week I am attending the Samford Sustainable Business Network meeting and look forward to talking to local business owners about better ways to support small businesses.
I grew up watching my mum and dad run separate small businesses, so I know how tough it can be to stay afloat.
I have been pushing for a permanent $50,000 instant asset write off for small business, more training grants and incentives for apprenticeship and internships and moving the burden of managing superannuation payments to the ATO.
Catch up
My growing volunteer team and I organise regular coffee catch ups in Samford. If you’d like to meet and ask me anything. Check out the events page on my website.
