Yesterday was 40 days since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini whilst in custody. Widespread protests continue across Iran and the world. In Iran, the protests have been met with a deadly... - Moree: Westpac Branch (1 speech)
As we stand here today, floods are right across the Parkes electorate. Moree, in particular, has been hit hard, and at the moment they're cleaning up. And, as they have done over the years, they... - International Whaling Commission (1 speech)
Last week, I had the privilege of representing the Minister for the Environment and Water at the 68th meeting of the International Whaling Commission. The IWC continues to be a critical and... - Petitions: Asylum Seekers (6 speeches)

Cassius Turvey died this week in hospital in Perth at the age of 15 years. He had been violently attacked while walking home from school in Middle Swan on 13 October. The death of any child is a... - Energy (1 speech)
At the last election, on a hundred occasions, the Labor party committed to the Australian public that they had a plan to lower the price of energy by $275. It wasn't a theory. It wasn't something... - Budget (2 speeches)
When I was campaigning, there was nothing I heard about more commonly from Boothby residents than climate change and their distress at the lack of action on climate change. We are a wonderful...
