Christmas wishes from The Nationals Melina Bath MP

As Christmas and the New Year holiday season rapidly approaches, I would like to take the opportunity to thank my Eastern Victorian constituents for the contribution they make to our beautiful region.

The holiday season is an opportunity to touch base with our neighbours, friends and spend time with loved ones.

It is good to see our small traders busy as people shop locally and families enjoying Christmas events.

Generosity of spirit and locals helping locals is the hallmark of country people and it is heartwarming to see many charities receiving donations of toys, clothing and food hampers despite the cost of living pressures at home.  

To all who have donated in a variety of ways, thank you for your kindness. 

Representing eastern Victoria in State Parliament is an honour.  As a local, I am passionate about our region’s future. I remain committed to working with our community to continue to tackle the challenges faced by individuals and communities.

If you are travelling on our roads during this holiday season, please take care, be patient and drive to the conditions.

Finally, may I wish you a joy filled Christmas surrounded by the people you know as family. May your start to 2024 be a safe, healthy, and blessed one.
