Tribune’s note

The Member for Dawson, Mr Willcox, used a parliamentary statement on 31 March to highlight two distinct local-interest items for his Central Queensland electorate. The headline announcement was that Mackay has been selected as the Australian premiere venue for Disney: The Exhibition — A Century of Magic, a touring exhibition drawing on rare artefacts, costumes and props from the Disney archives, including Star Wars and Marvel collections [TA-260331-house-66782c600be9:s093].

Mr Willcox framed the selection as a significant economic and community opportunity for Dawson, pointing to the flow-on benefits for regional tourism operators and local businesses in Mackay [TA-260331-house-66782c600be9:s093]. The statement concluded with an Easter message to constituents, centred on themes of the resurrection, forgiveness and renewal, with wishes for a safe and holy Easter extended to families across the electorate.

No policy critique or government-directed attack featured in the day's activity; the record is confined to constituency promotion and a seasonal community message.
