  • Dwight Walker: That is a really bad place to zone for residential right next to flood plain of Burpengary Creek. Moreton Bay Regional Council should have factored in a flood levee before approving housing... (11 February 2016)

  • Tibor Majlath: The member claims that unions are lying, presumably about Gonski. She says Labor is misleading people over education funding. She wants them to tell the 'truth'. Hear! Hear! Is Labor correct... (6 February 2016)

  • Tibor Majlath: Is that due to "bracket creep"? For a start, isn't wages growth at record lows? So, how are wage earners being taxed higher and higher? Some businesses recently received tax cuts. Who or what... (5 February 2016)

  • Tibor Majlath: The senator mentions the Coalition's abatement cost of $13.12/tonne in the same breath with Labor's alleged carbon price of $209/tonne. The first is a cost to government in 2015. The second is... (1 January 2016)
