John said, "This is our first community visit for the year. We are looking forward to visiting Orbost, meeting residents, groups and businesses, and learning more about what matters most to them. It is a valuable opportunity to listen, share ideas, and strengthen our connection with the people who live and work here. Understanding their needs, challenges, and aspirations helps guide our decision-making and ensures we continue to deliver meaningful outcomes for the community."
