With the approach of the first anniversary of the Abbott government and my tenure as the member for Lindsay, I would like to thank the people of Lindsay for putting their trust in me. As a small token of my appreciation I have invited all residents and their families to join me for a community barbecue at the Regentville Rural Fire Service open day on Saturday 13 September. The barbecue will be by gold coin donation, with all monies raised going directly to our local rural fire service.

Lindsay sits in the foothills of the majestic Blue Mountains and we all remember too well the devastating fires that hit our region last year. The Cumberland Rural Fire Service provides critical support to our friends in the mountains. As the bushfire season approaches, now is the crucial time that we as a community get behind this amazing group of volunteers who, year after year, devote themselves to protecting our community, our homes and our beautiful bushland that we all love and cherish so very much.

The barbecue will commence at 10 am and I look forward to seeing you all the people of Lindsay coming to join me.
