- Nuclear Weapons (1 speech)
The pace of global disarmament has been dangerously slow. In recent weeks we've been reminded again of the risks of nuclear war, as tensions flare between two fractious and nuclear-armed leaders.... - Fisher Electorate (1 speech)
In my short time as a member of the House, I've learned that it's incumbent on and important for us to be good listeners and to engage with our local community. We must connect on a regular basis... - Macquarie Electorate (1 speech)
When you have the largest electorate on Sydney's outskirts, and your community is active and engaged, you know that weekends are going to involve clocking up a few kilometres. I want to share... - Prime Minister (1 speech)

I rise today to sing the praises of a particular group in my electorate—a sporting club that's called the Henley South Tennis Club. On 27 August, I attended their open day, which they have... - Central Queensland: Agriculture Industry (2 speeches)
