Raising money for flood appeal
Member for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill will attend Australia Day celebrations at the Woy Woy waterfront, raising money for the Queensland Flood Appeal.
"I have been personally moved by a number of stories, including children offering their own toys to children who have been affected by the flooding.
"So on Australia Day I'll be throwing a snag, and maybe even a prawn or two on the barbie, to raise money for flood victims."
Ms O'Neill has urged residents to keep giving to the flood appeal.
"Businesses, community groups and individuals have all contacted my office with offers of assistance and donations.
"For those celebrating our national day at the beach or watching the cricket, you can still make cash donations through the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal, which is the best way to directly support the emergency efforts.
"Donations can also be made in person at all of our major banks, Australia Post and Coles Supermarkets," said Ms O'Neill.
