James delivered the President’s report
- Merv is undergoing radiation treatment
- Alan is at Bli Bli
- Gordon is “not good“(and somebody suggested that was actually normal) – he’s having treatment every second day
- John will be back at the end of May, and then would be visiting his Mum in the United States
Board Meeting
- Project monies were discussed. Conflicts of interest were brought to light, (with James being Chair) but DV Phones were a favourite. So far 2,400 phones have been put into operation, … and counting. They are desperate for more phones. It was suggested that $2,000 was suitable.
- Money to Shelter Box was a good idea, especially considering their use in the Ukraine. Any other proposals? There was $1,000 to RUSCCF

Bernie introduced our guest speaker Tony
Tony Moore lives on the Sunshine Coast in the seat of Fisher with his wife of 26 years and their four children. Tony, a business owner of 30 years, has been engaged in politics for more than a decade.
Tony gave us his “my life“ story.
He was born in Redcliffe in 1971, in a Christian home. He had a great childhood with parents and grandparents who are members of the Salvation Army.
He’s enjoyed working for the community. He has a love of music and started early with drums. He was sponsored at 17, but his parents told him to get a trade “just in case”.
The Anzac Day March was an honour.
In 1992 he was playing drums in Nashville.
He returned to Australia and met Rebecca
Politics came to his attention as it means to work against crimes committed to children
.
At 35 years his political journey led him to child safety, and he achieved a Bachelor of Behavioural Science and Psychology, and worked for the Queensland government in child protection.
