The Federal Member for Hinkler David Batt MP has launched his ‘Straight off the Batt’ mobile office tour.
The newly elected Hinkler MP is keen to listen to constituents right across the region and assist with Federal issues.
“It’s a priority of mine to get on the road to Hervey Bay, Bundaberg, Childers and the many locations in between,” Mr Batt said.
“The mobile office provides a great opportunity to meet face to face with people across the vast Hinkler electorate.”
The mobile office will provide support with matters relating to Centrelink, veterans affairs, immigration, taxation and all Federal Government issues.
It’s also a chance to meet the newly elected MP in person.
