- Berowra Electorate: Telecommunications (1 speech)

I rise today to recognise a member of the Illawarra community on a truly outstanding achievement. This year marks 26 years of Joe Alves shaving his head for the World's Greatest Shave. Over the... - New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (1 speech)

Uni should deliver optimism rather than fear for young people over their financials. That's why we will be considering all 47 recommendations from the 12-month review of the universities that we... - COVID-19: Vaccination (1 speech)
