It was a timely visit to Amity College for Harmony Day.

The day is a celebration of Australia's cultural diversity, and is especially important given our region's successful, diverse multicultural community.

I met with the workers who have been locked out at the Port Kembla Coal Loader.

This Dispute has gone on for too long. Job security is not too much to ask for.

Our region is so diverse because of those who choose to migrate here, I got a chance to welcome some of the Illawarra's newest citizens at the Shellharbour Citizenship ceremony this week.

It was a pleasure to welcome them all, even if some were happier than others!
