"I'm incredibly excited to see that we will have a community-based vaccination hub right here in our local community," she said in an online article on the Moreton Daily, which lists its contact address as being at the same Elizabeth Avenue location.Ms D'Ath did not answer questions about whether any of her furniture was ever stored at this location.

The sole shareholder of Colbury is another company, Newcombe Holdings Pty Ltd, which has Ms Newcombe's son Shane as one of its directors. Real estate records also show Ms D'Ath selling another residential property that she had owned for years, in about September last year.
