Christmas Messages: Agricultural Region MLC Sandra Carr reflects on a busy year

Wishing everyone across the Agricultural Region of WA a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season! I extend my gratitude to all who are caring for others and volunteering over the festive season; your selflessness is admirable and appreciated. Thank you. The past year has been very busy. I have covered thousands of kilometres and had the privilege of working with many passionate people who are dedicated to the betterment of their communities. I feel highly optimistic for regional WA. Even with a looming global recession in sight, our State is blessed to be in a healthy financial position and have leadership in the McGowan Government that takes a sensible, cautious and carefully planned approach to State spending. This, along with having so many regional members in government, will continue to deliver positive outcomes for our regions. As 2023 approaches I reaffirm my commitment to regional WA. I am grateful to all those who have contacted me for support and encourage those who need help with any issues to reach out. My role only has value when I am helping others and this is best achieved though communication and collaboration. In 2023, I set myself the goal of further improving my communication and collaboration to achieve even bigger and better outcomes for our region. This holiday season choose kindness in every situation, look out for your neighbour, help where you can and ask for help when you need it. My hope is that we make 2023 a year of productive collaboration and kindness.
