IT WAS a packed room at the Tweed Heads Bowls Club this morning for the Tweed Chamber of Commerce's monthly meeting.

Currumbin MP Jann Stuckey entertained the crowd of about 85 people with her sense of humour and bedroom talk.

Ms Stuckey was a little hoarse due to a flu injection, but chose to look at the lighter side of her ailment.

She described her symptoms as the result of her doctor husband "sticking her with a needle in the upper arm" whilst she was in bed.

It was a flu jab and she says she has been sick since.

On more serious matters, Ms Stuckey spoke about cross border issues.

"There's a high concentration of people in Coolangatta and Tweed," she said.

"I run a small business on the border and I'm well aware of the issues.

"We need to maintain dialogue between NSW and Qld governments and I will continue to work with Geoff Provest to solve them."

She spoke on daylight saving, transport issues and the need for police in both states to work together and stop criminals from "crossing the street and getting away with blue murder."

NSW education minister Adrian Piccoli spoke on radical changes to the education system, including "raising the bar" for teachers and the introduction of incentives for principals at more difficult schools.

"I'm not here to announce the building of a new school at Pottsville," he said.

Instead he outlined proposed changes to university entry for prospective teachers and funding for students with disabilities.

"There are big changes coming," he said.

Other speakers included Tweed MP Geoff Provest, Tweed Shire Council's director for planning Vince Connell and Southern Gold Coast Chamber of Commerce president Gail O'Neill.

Tweed mayor Barry Longland had been listed as a guest speaker, but was unable to attend.

It was a combined met onf the Southern Gold Coast and Tweed business chambers.
