- Robinson, Dr Aunty Mavis Jean (Mae) (1 speech)
This week I learned of the passing of Aunty Mae Robinson, a remarkable woman. Aunty Mae was an active member of my community, known for her generosity and her passion for teaching and culture.... - Berowra Electorate: Arcadia Markets (1 speech)
For many years, the Arcadia Markets have been held at the Arcadia Public School. Conceived in 2009 by the Arcadia Public School P&C, it's both a local community event and a fundraiser. The... - Robinson, Dr Aunty Mavis Jean (Mae) (1 speech)
I start by acknowledging the traditional owners and First Peoples of the land, particularly elders of my electorate of Werriwa. Today we are mourning the loss of one of our special citizens,... - Domestic and Family Violence (1 speech)
I call on the members of the 46th Parliament to remember what we were elected to do in this place: to respect the institution and to fulfil our responsibility to find solutions. One of the... - Small Business (1 speech)
There is no doubt that small and medium businesses, which employ nearly 40 per cent of workers in this country, are the backbone of Australia's economy. From your favourite coffee shop down the... - Makin Electorate: Golden Grove Football Club (1 speech)
I congratulate the Golden Grove Football Club on winning the 2019 Good Sports Club of the Year Award for South Australia. The Good Sports Program is a national program with almost 10,000 clubs... - Extinction Rebellion (1 speech)
Many in this chamber may have got an email from a mob that call themselves Extinction Rebellion. Some anonymous numpty has taken it upon themselves to send us an email full of blackmail and... - Prime Minister (1 speech)
How weak is this Prime Minister? He misleads the House in an attempt to cover up the fact that this hopeless government, this tired, third-term government, is so embarrassed by the fact that one... - Alfred Hospital (1 speech)
I rise in this place to address some very concerning reports today on the front page of Melbourne's daily newspaper, The Age. The paper featured a story entitled 'Doctors call for $2 billion fix... - Morrison Government (1 speech)
The government is being run by a bunch of children. The minister for emissions reductions, instead of concentrating on producing policies to actually reduce emissions and reduce skyrocketing... - Forestry Industry (1 speech)
I was here when John Howard, Prime Minister, and Michael O'Connor, from the CFMEU Forestry Division, were sorting out the regional forest agreements for Victoria. Only the member for Lingiari and... - Morrison Government (1 speech)
So, how has it come to this? This sorry tale begins with the bumbling Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction using a dodgy, doctored document to take a pot shot at a mayor, and, in the... - Victoria: Forestry Industry (1 speech)
One of the great privileges I have in this place is to co-convene the parliamentary friends of forestry group; I do that with the member for Hunter. He gave me a hug last night; we do that a... - Prime Minister (1 speech)
How good is integrity? A while back, a lot of people didn't know who Scott Morrison was, so when he took over as Prime Minister he tried to portray himself as the daggy dad from the shire. People... - Tasmania: Youth Suicide (1 speech)
Today, again, I rise to not only highlight the scourge that is youth suicide in Tasmania, but to focus on the efforts of one particularly amazing woman from Northern Tasmania, who has dedicated... - Prime Minister (1 speech)
This Prime Minister does not like scrutiny—not from journalists, not from the opposition and not from the crossbenches. He's loose with the truth—a serial offender! And when he makes... - Victoria: Forestry Industry (2 speeches)
The Andrews Labor government has been felling Victoria's forestry industries. Each year, only four in every 10,000 trees are harvested from Victorian forests. The Greens, of course, think that's...
