- Gippsland Electorate: Hospitals (1 speech)
I believe in localism. It's the very simple idea that the wisdom of local people should be respected, that local people should have more control over what happens in their local areas as much as... - Assange, Mr Julian Paul (1 speech)
Julian Assange is free. Only a few hours ago, following a brief court process on the island of Saipan, Mr Assange was able to walk free after 14 years without liberty. He is free now to return... - New England Electorate: Infrastructure (1 speech)
I commend the words just said, but I'll go on to another issue because life moves on. It was a number of years ago when I first came to parliament that we fought for the extension of Chaffey Dam.... - Dunkley Electorate: Community Events (1 speech)
Dunkley is home to many older Australians, with 27,000 residents over 65 years of age. Many of these people are important contributors to our great community. Last week I followed in the... - Middle East (1 speech)
I want to put on the record my deep concern about the destructive and destabilising behaviour of the Iranian government and to call on the government to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps... - MakerSpace (1 speech)
I want to pay tribute to MakerSpace, an Army initiative providing a place for education in innovative approaches, creative thinking and agile methodologies. This is about soldiers solving... - Goldstein Electorate: Infrastructure (1 speech)
The Suburban Rail Loop is a project of significance and concern to the Goldstein community. The aim is to upgrade public transport and provide new housing as Melbourne grows. What worries me and... - Energy (1 speech)
Last week we saw the Leader of the Opposition come up with this peculiar thought bubble, which is gambling Australia's energy and economic security, promising untested, uncosted and experimental... - Cook Electorate: E-bikes (1 speech)
Many local residents have been in touch with me about the use of e-bikes in my electorate. These bikes are capable of going 50 kilometres an hour without pedalling. They're ridden down pedestrian... - Fraser Electorate: St Albans Dinamo Soccer Club (1 speech)
I visited the St Albans Dinamo Football Club last weekend. This is a club with a long and storied history, having produced many A-League players and, indeed, Socceroos. The club is approaching... - Jeffcoat, Miss Leesa, AM (1 speech)
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of celebrating the 23-year tenure of Leesa Jeffcoat AM as Diocesan Director Catholic Education Rockhampton. After more than two decades, Leesa made the... - Cost of Living (1 speech)
From 1 July, just five days away, everyone in my community will benefit from the work our government is doing to support them with their cost-of-living pressures. When I think about what this... - Berowra Electorate: Westleigh Park (1 speech)
The New South Wales Minns Labor government stands condemned for ripping $36 million out of our local community. In 2018, the New South Wales coalition government provided $40 million to Hornsby... - Universities (1 speech)
Australians with existing HELP debts and current students, like my son Stanley, have all welcomed Labor's decision to change the way their debt is indexed and to fix last year's CPI indexation... - Murray-Darling Basin Plan (1 speech)
I have an important announcement. The member for Sydney will walk in here in a few minutes with a brand new title: the worst water and environment minister this parliament has ever seen. And it... - Education (1 speech)
Yesterday, I joined the education minister, Jason Clare, and Chief Executive of the Australian Academy of Science, Anna-Maria Arabia, to launch the reimagined Primary Connections and reSolve... - Headen, Mr Peter (1 speech)
I rise to give a shout-out to Peter Headen, or 'Heado', as he's affectionately known, in Warrnambool in south-west Victoria. He has been involved in radio broadcasting for 40 years, and he's... - Taxation (1 speech)
As I woke up this morning, I looked at my phone and it dawned on me that we are so close to 1 July. And that's important for so many reasons. Firstly, it's Territory Day, and I'm sure our friends... - Albanese Government (3 speeches)
Bring on the election next year, in 2025, because you can't believe a word this mob says. Whether it's the Prime Minister, the Minister for Climate Change and Energy or the Treasurer... - Taxation (2 speeches)
The countdown is well and truly on. In just five days, Labor's tax cuts will take effect, delivering some much-needed relief—a big tax cut—to every single Australian taxpayer. From...
