Ross Augustine and yours truly attended an interesting meeting, organised by "our" federal MP, Angie Bell. Representatives from some 14 charitable organisations on the Gold Coast, (including two Rotary Clubs - Broadbeach and Surfers Sunrise). Angie organised Senator Dean Smith to come over from WA. He holds several major positions, including Shadow Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, which includes responsibility for Charities. This was not a talk fest, but all directed towards listening. Thank you for putting this together, Angie!
