Hospice looking for
anniversary sponsors
Administration and Fundraising Manager Mr
Mark Munro said the team at the Toowoomba Hospice
were excited about celebrating the Toowoomba
Hospice’s 20th Birthday in July 2023.
Preparations have started for the Anniversary
Gala Dinner on July 1, 2023 at the Oaks Hotel.
“Our administration and events assistant Amy
is on a mission to secure some sponsorships, of
which there are four different types of packages
available.,” Mr Munro said.
"I am delighted to say we have secured Jess
Jones Real Estate who didn’t hesitate to jump on
board.”
Director of Jess Jones Real Estate Mrs Jess
Jones said she is proud to support the Toowoomba
Hospice.
“This is such a vital facility to our community,
and they rely heavily on funding via private donations.
I’ve had first-hand experience with the Hospice
and will be forever grateful for the care my
Mum received at the end of her life.
"It’s an honour and I’m so excited to be involved
in celebrating such a wonderful achievement in the

Australia’s cost of living
crisis looks set to continue.
Once again, economic
conservatives find themselves
standing alone against the
tide of Labor’s tax and spend
agenda. The Treasurer showed
his true intent by trying to
back out of the legislated
Stage 3 tax cuts but was
scared off by the strong public
response. It’s only a matter of
time before Labor try again to
raise your taxes.
This extra money in your
pocket is going to be needed.
As Deputy Chair of the House
Economics Committee, I
was able to reveal that the
average household energy
bill has risen by $300 since
April. This is despite Labor’s
promise to lower your energy
bill by $275.
Labor just can’t handle
money.
With interest rates rising,
petrol prices nearing record
highs, and energy bills
increasing, Australia is
already paying more under
Labor. I will continue to hold
the government to account in
Canberra.
