I rise to acknowledge several community organisations in my electorate who have been awarded our government's Armistice Grants to mark the Centenary of Armistice this November. Berowra RSL Sub... - Petition: Aged Care (1 speech)

I'm sure it came as a surprise to many in this place when they read in The Australian today that Senator McKenzie is moving her electorate office from Bendigo to somewhere in Indi. I think what... - Port of Gladstone (1 speech)
All of Central Queensland relies on the Port of Gladstone, which is about the fifth-largest port in Australia. The port access road has been a discussion point for many years. An initial plan put... - Gillard, Hon. Julia, AC (1 speech)

I rise today to highlight the importance of the thoroughbred-racing industry to our economy. It's an industry that's often seen by the public through the prism of the glitz and glamour of race... - Prime Minister (3 speeches)

We've all worked in this chamber on by-elections, so we know what happens the night before a by-election: you're there, ready, working for your party to be successful the next day. Those opposite... - Mangrove Mountain and Districts Country Fair (2 speeches)
On Saturday I was in Central Mangrove for the 55th annual Mangrove Mountain & Districts Country Fair. The fair, which started in 1963, is an amazing show of the local talent, produce and...
