Shadow Portfolio — 13 May 2026

Tribune’s note

Chief Opposition Whip Cameron Caldwell used his return-from-recess statement on 13 May to place a series of Northern Gold Coast electorate engagements on the parliamentary record [TA-260513-house-ee1b85aea947:s098]. The statement covers the Anzac Day period, community sport, local policing, and youth civic participation — a standard community-presence address with no policy attack or legislative content.

Caldwell attended three Anzac Day services across the Fadden electorate: the Northern Gold Coast RSL dawn ceremony at Helensvale, the TriCare centre service at Runaway Bay, and the Ormeau-Pimpama community service at the local war memorial. He also attended the Runaway Bay Little Athletics end-of-season presentation, citing the club's 45-year history and volunteer base of roughly 450 athletes, and named individual committee members.

A visit to the Jacobs Well Neighbourhood Police Beat, where he spent time with Senior Constable Zoe and Senior Constable Danielle and met local residents including a publican and real-estate agents, rounded out the community-engagement sequence. The statement closed with recognition of Jamili, the first youth member for Fadden in the National Youth Parliament, whom Caldwell congratulated at Assisi Catholic College in Coomera.

No media releases accompany this activity window and no prior context candidates were supplied, so the Note reflects a single parliamentary stream only.
