In a society where individuals are increasingly isolated from their neighbours, where the divide between the haves and have nots is only increasing and government is refusing to provide the social safety net it once did community groups and volunteers are vital to the wellbeing of our society.
Whether they exist as sporting clubs, day care centres, P&C's, neighbourhood centres or lobby groups they play an invaluable role.
Claire is involved in many different community groups committed to social justice and equality for all Queenslanders. These groups include Amnesty International, Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation and the Queensland Peace Network.
She is a member of Friends of the ABC, Patron of the Boggo Road Gaol Historical Society, Children by Choice, Brisbane Labor History Association, Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre and the Australian Festival of Chamber Music.
Claire is also active in the community in Fortitude Valley where her office is located. Community organisations are welcome to hold meetings in Claire's office and are able to access many other forms of support.
