- Marine Protected Areas (1 speech)

I rise to note a crisis rally being staged by Speak Up 4 Water next Monday in Deniliquin in my electorate of Farrer. It is in response to the growing impact of drought. In this case we're not... - Turnbull Government (1 speech)
Would you look at this rabble here in this parliament today. This is a government gripped by chaos, hopelessly divided and in a state of panic. You're consumed by yourselves; we've seen it all... - Gilmore Electorate (1 speech)
Living in Gilmore is a complete blessing. On 18 August I attended two commemorative events for Vietnam veterans. Firstly, I acknowledge the efforts of the Huskisson RSL Sub-Branch, because they... - Northern Territory (1 speech)

This year marked the 52nd anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. Every year on Vietnam Veterans Day, 18 August, we pause and we reflect on the service and the bravery of those Australian men and... - Turnbull Government (1 speech)
Chaos is the only word you can use to describe this terrible government. They are directionless. All they really care about are their own jobs. I read today in the newspaper that backbenchers... - Drought (1 speech)
Last Monday I was thrilled to support an incredibly generous initiative that saw a convoy of 23 road trains leave WA bound for drought-stricken New South Wales. The cargo was 2,300 hay bales... - Turnbull Government (1 speech)
Australia is in the grip of one of its most severe droughts ever. There are 60 bushfires burning across New South Wales at the moment. Workers and families are struggling with cost-of-living... - Brighton Soccer Club (1 speech)
