Shadow Portfolio — 24 March 2026

The Member for Moncrieff, Ms Bell, used a parliamentary statement on 24 March 2026 to report on an active school-visit program across her Gold Coast electorate [TA-260324-house-a9c2a02c99ed:s055]. Nearly half of the electorate's 33 schools have now received visits this year, with Ms Bell presenting leadership certificates to student leaders and engaging them on goal setting and life beyond school.

Named schools include Merrimac State High School, Southport State School, Bellevue Park State School, St Michael's College, Benowa State High School, and William Duncan State School. Ms Bell also highlighted the IMPACT Gold Coast Youth Summit — sponsored by the Sea World Foundation — as a complementary community initiative, which brought together more than 220 young people to build aspirations and connect with new opportunities [TA-260324-house-a9c2a02c99ed:s055].

The statement is constituent-focused and carries no direct policy attack or alternative policy position; it functions as a record of local engagement rather than portfolio-level opposition activity. No comms segment or media release material is present in this window, and no prior context candidates were supplied, so the statement stands alone without a broader strategic arc to draw on.
