Riverlands Labor Branch

Nothing in this Federal Budget makes up for a decade of attacks on wages, job security and Medicare.

It’s a ploy for an election, not a plan for a better future.

Please support our candidate for Fadden, Letitia Del Fabbro!

Living locally in Fadden with her partner and young family, Letitia has been a nurse educator at Griffith University since 2008. She completed a Bachelor of Nursing in South Australia, undertaking her final placement at the Gold Coast Hospital in 1994, and went on to devote her professional life to improving the lives of others, mainly in the fields of health and education.

Letitia will ensure that the residents of Fadden can work secure local jobs, rely on their health and hospital systems, and build lives for themselves and their families on the northern Gold Coast.

Happy Labour Day weekend everyone - and see you at the march tomorrow.

Today was the official day for Clean Up Australia Day and some of the Riverlands Labor Branch turned out at Tallowwood Park, Highland Reserve for our ALP Riverlands Branch Clean Up Australia Day event.

It was pretty impressive with how well the park is kept but we still managed to fill quite a few bags with some interesting rubbish and shared some laughs with each other and the local community who were pleased to see us out there 🤗

Another fantastic annual community event 😁

This week the Australian Unemployed Workers' Union, along with other community groups, stood proudly alongside Owen Lockett, a Logan local and Disability Support Pension (DSP) recipient, at the Beenleigh ‘Fix Centrelink’ community action.

This 3 day event was Owen’s idea and was held opposite the local Centrelink office and supported by the local community.
