- Election of Members and Senators (1 speech)
Under this incompetent Albanese government, regional Australia is hurting. So at this election, it's time to turf Labor out. On the ground, The Nationals have some incredible candidates who are... - Australian Defence Force (1 speech)
I'm a fourth-generation veteran and I'm a fierce advocate for our Australian Defence Force personnel and their families. I'm proud to be working with the ministers for defence, veterans, and... - Schools (1 speech)
It was back to school for so many of our children and teenagers last week, but for some it was the first day of their school and education life. For some there was anxiousness; for others,... - Dunkley Electorate: Australia Day (1 speech)
It was a pleasure to welcome hundreds of new Australian citizens to the Frankston community at the Australia Day ceremony just a few weeks ago. Thank you to Frankston City Council, Mayor Kris... - Mental Health (1 speech)
Australia is facing a mental health crisis, and young men are on the frontline. Two-thirds of men face challenges engaging with health care, 45 per cent drop out of therapy with unmet mental... - Australian Public Service (1 speech)
Like my friend the member for Bean, I am incredibly proud to represent so many members of the Australian Public Service who live in my electorate. I'm proud to have been one of them and have... - Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Bill 2024 (1 speech)
We don't let Coles and Woolies make the laws about who can compete with them, but Labor and Liberal are close to stitching up a deal to stop communities choosing different representatives. The... - Lunar New Year (1 speech)
Today I want to wish those in my electorate who celebrate a very happy lunar new year. In particular, I want to wish the Chinese residents of my electorate, especially members of the North... - Services Australia (1 speech)
Bill Shorten has left the building, but the damage that he has done will linger on. We know that what Labor wants to do—and is in the course of doing—is put on 36,000 additional... - Lunar New Year (1 speech)
I was very privileged this past week to attend many events in my electorate to celebrate the lunar new year, the Year of the Snake. As I said, I was very privileged to have been invited to the... - Albanese Government (1 speech)
I opened social media this morning and was shocked by a post from the Prime Minister that said: No-one held back and no-one left behind. As Prime Minister, I've worked every day to make that a... - Bean Electorate: Education (1 speech)
Boosting higher education and training and tackling the cost of living are critical issues for my electorate of Bean. A re-elected Labor government will cut $5,500 from an average university... - Women's Sheds (1 speech)
You've probably heard of a Men's Shed, but have you heard of a Women's Shed or a 'she shed'? I recently had the opportunity to catch up with some of the ladies from the Biggenden Women's Shed.... - Labor Government (2 speeches)
Lobster, caviar and steak tartare—this is the bill that the taxpayer will be footing for under Peter Dutton's economic plan. While the Liberals plan to hand out tax cuts to the wealthy and... - Energy (1 speech)
During the summer break, the member for Warringah was being interviewed on Sky News just prior to my interview. Her words, along with slogans from the energy minister, highlight the shallowness... - Tertiary Education (1 speech)
If Labor are re-elected, we are cutting a further 20 per cent off student debt. In New South Wales—that includes, of course, the Blue Mountains, the Hawkesbury and the... - Child Care (1 speech)
The Prime Minister promised Australia cheaper child care. He promised a pay rise for 200,000 educators by the end of the year. But just like all of his other promises, like no changes to... - Australian Public Service (1 speech)
The Liberals and the Nationals are trying something new and different, a novel campaigning tool for this election, but they have left my community of Hasluck concerned and confused. The coalition... - Albanese Government (1 speech)
I wish to highlight 10 of Labor's massive fails. In fact, there have been hundreds of failures by this Albanese Labor government. No.1, they wasted 18 months of government and $500 million on... - Australian Public Service (2 speeches)
Last week we saw more reckless comments from this Leader of the Opposition. This time around, as part of another shameless attempt to put his values above everyone else's, he's targeted workers...
