Post-Budget listening tour across Hinkler

Hinkler residents with questions or comments about the 2014-15 Budget will be able to speak directly to their Federal Member of Parliament in their communities next week.

Member for Hinkler Keith Pitt will travel across the electorate, listening to constituents’ views and concerns.

“My door is always open, but I want to ensure people in Hervey Bay and Hinkler’s many smaller communities also feel their concerns are being heard,” Mr Pitt said.

“No matter where a person lives, they should have access to the person they elected to be their local voice in Canberra.”

Hinkler residents can drop into the Electorate Office on Woongarra Street in Bundaberg, between 11am and 1pm on Monday May 19.

Mr Pitt will visit the electorate’s many regional communities on Tuesday May 20:

9-10am                       Outside Burrum Heads Community Hall, Burrum Heads

10.30-11.30am           Cnr of William and Burrum Streets, Howard

Noon – 1.15pm          Cultural Centre Park, Childers

2-3pm                         Esplanade, opposite the General Store, Woodgate

Mr Pitt will also be at the Fraser Coast Show at Maryborough Showgrounds on Thursday May 22.

Mr Pitt invited constituents to interact with him on Facebook and YouTube.

“You can also send me an email at keith.pitt.mp@aph.gov.au or write to me at PO Box 535, Bundaberg Qld 4670,” he said.
