Federal Member for Groom
Welcome to my website
Whether you're a Darling Downs local or a visitor to our part of the world, step into my site for information on Federal Government programs, answers to your questions and a run-down on national and local issues affecting all of us in Groom. I've been the local MP since 1998 so there's news and photos of what's been happening here over that time but this website is about putting you in touch with the government information you, your family or business is seeking.
If you have a further enquiry please leave me a message via our contact form, or call the Toowoomba office on (07) 4632 4144 and I'll do my best to help.
Thanks for visiting!
