- Broadband (1 speech)
I want to thank the hundreds of Canberrans who have sent me their broadband speeds as part of my campaign to get Canberra prioritised for the rollout of the NBN. Today I am going to share some of... - Wide Bay Electorate: Roads (1 speech)
This week is National Road Safety Week, and I wear my yellow ribbon to confirm my absolute support. In 2016 1,300 people were killed on our roads. It was a 7.9 per cent increase on the 2015 road... - Budget (3 speeches)
We are back. I am waiting for someone to shout out, 'groundhog day', except, instead of Bill Murray we have the Treasurer, Scott Morrison, a less than pale imitation, but maybe with a similar... - Groom Electorate: National Disability Insurance Scheme (1 speech)
I am very pleased with the positive feedback from the Groom electorate in recent days in relation to the federal budget. I meet regularly with local agencies who are vitally interested in the... - Budget (1 speech)
I rise very proudly to say that today the women's budget statement was released by Labor. You might remember it from the classic in 1983 when it was first launched. It was ended by your former... - Tangney Electorate: Budget (1 speech)
What great news in the federal budget—this Liberal government's commitment to WA jobs and to build the Perth Freight Link remains. This government will provide $1.2 billion to build Roe 8... - Budget (5 speeches)

I rise to speak on energy policy, an issue that is high on the agenda of every South Australian sadly labouring under the state Labor government. This debate has ultimately become an ideological... - Budget (2 speeches)
I have been wondering just how many times those opposite have tried to press the reset button since coming to power. The iterations are extraordinary. They came to government with a budget... - Challis, Private Jason Walter (1 speech)
I rise to acknowledge a deep loss to our Top End community with the very sad news that one of our soldiers from 1st Brigade was killed in a training accident in the Northern Territory yesterday.... - Energy (1 speech)
That was a very sombre speech to follow, and I thank the member for Solomon for those words. I can assure you that all in this House feel the same way. Unfortunately I am not speaking about a... - Banking and Financial Services (1 speech)
Over the last 48 hours, we have witnessed the unlikely spectacle of our merchant banker Prime Minister trying to make himself over as a bank basher. It is the most improbable identity change... - National Security (1 speech)
This budget once again demonstrates the Liberal-National government's commitment to strong and effective border security. It has been over 1,000 days since the last successful illegal boat... - Banking and Financial Services (2 speeches)
This budget has seen the Prime Minister's pantomime war on banks. First of all, we have seen the supposed bank tax, which day by day is being turned into a consumer levy through government...
