It was a very positive and productive start to the 57th Parliament this week.

Issues linked with the electorate's forecast population growth, including police numbers, climate change action and the upgrade of regional roads, were just some of the topics discussed during a number of meetings with Ministers this week.

Beyond just a meet and greet, I was able to raise concerns, flag future projects and make mention of those currently underway across the Wagga Wagga electorate.

I'm looking forward to meeting with other Ministers in the weeks ahead.
