Labor's proposed $200 billion taxathon is the largest single increase in taxation proposed by an opposition since Gough Whitlam thought 'It's time' for higher taxes. The largest of their new... - Government Procurement (1 speech)
On 11 December 2013, the Financial Review's headline read: 'Hockey dares GM to leave'. It was a terrible day for my electorate. Then Treasurer Hockey basically dared General Motors Holden to... - Cousins, Professor Michael John, AM (1 speech)
Professor Michael Cousins AM is truly an outstanding member of the Mackellar community. But his work and legacy spans much further than just our community. Professor Cousins has had an impressive... - Coalition Government (1 speech)
Public confidence and credibility in the parliament and its procedures continues to be trashed by the decaying Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison government. Yesterday, the Office of the Australian... - Boothby Electorate: Health Services (1 speech)

Two weeks ago, the health minister came to Mandurah to announce a $25 million investment in the Peel Health Campus. The Peel Health Campus was built in 1997, when the City of Mandurah was half... - Morrison Government (1 speech)

I'm often in schools talking to young people. One thing I like to do is talk about senior Australians and the wonderful country that they have left us. I'm thankful, as someone who was born here... - Member for Moore (1 speech)
I stand in this place because we want more! The behaviour of the member for Moore has been exposed as simply not good enough. Rock lobsters have been a hot topic in WA in recent weeks, but the... - Infrastructure: Irrigation (1 speech)
Cyclone Oma could cross the southern Queensland coast very, very soon. That would bring yet another deluge, another massive flood. It seems self-evident, if we have massive floods in the north, a... - Morrison Government (1 speech)
