This weekend we celebrate a remarkable milestone—50 years of the Don River Railway on the north-west coast of Tasmania. Since 1973 this heritage railway has been more than just a collection... - Albanese Government (1 speech)
I've been the member for Dunkley for roughly 11 months, and I can tell you that the Albanese Labor government has been laser focused on easing cost-of-living pressures on families in Australia.... - Tasmania: Early Childhood Education and Care (1 speech)
Way back in 2022 the new federal government made much of its commitment to remedy the national early childhood education shortage and to alleviate the prohibitive costs families pay for such... - Australian All-Party Parliamentary Group for Uyghurs (1 speech)

Australian families do not believe the Prime Minister when he says that they'll be better off under Labor again. Aussies are not mugs. They know they've been fooled once, but it won't be twice.... - Australian Public Service (1 speech)
We've had to listen to the opposition degrade and attack our country's public services every day of this parliament. They have a plan to cut 36,000 jobs from our vital public services. That's a... - Energy (1 speech)
