Today on the Matt O’Hanlon Podcast we sit down with Natalie Marr, the Member for Thuringowa, to explore the stories, challenges and community spirit shaping Townsville.
Natalie shares her journey from growing up in Kelso to serving as a councillor, a volunteer, and now an MP. We talk about the early days in customer service, the lessons that shaped her leadership, and the people who influenced her path. Her passion for Thuringowa is clear, and her honesty about the realities of serving the community is refreshing.
In this episode we dive deep into crime, housing, volunteering, local identity, youth opportunity, and the future of Townsville. Natalie also opens up about the importance of early intervention, the state of social housing, and the real stories she hears while door knocking across the electorate.
If you love hearing real stories from real locals making a difference, this one is for you.
