- Forde Electorate: Tropical Cyclone Alfred (1 speech)

I rise in relation to the sad news that Nick Lalich, another stalwart of the Labor Party in my part of the world, passed away overnight. He served our community for over 35 years. Nick was old... - Budget, Live Animal Exports (1 speech)
Last night's federal budget was devastating for the bush. The lack of funding for regional Australia was once again on show for us all to see. There was no new funding for the Local Roads and... - Cunningham Electorate: Fernhill Football Club (1 speech)
This year the Fernhill Foxes football club are celebrating an incredible milestone: 100 years of football in the Illawarra. In 1925, the club kicked off their first game on 28 March, setting in... - Federal Election (1 speech)
With the federal election looming, there are two things I want to warn Australians about—lies and data harvesting. There's no law preventing lies in political ads. This is mind blowing.... - Budget (1 speech)
Inflation is down, incomes are rising, unemployment is low, and interest rates are easing. On every front, the Australian economy is in better shape than it was three years ago, but we know... - Northern Beaches Hospital (1 speech)
Two mornings ago, I attended a strike being held by nurses and midwives at our local Northern Beaches Hospital. The Northern Beaches Hospital is the only privately run public hospital remaining... - Cragg, Mr David (1 speech)
Last Monday, we lost a giant of the union and labour movement with the passing of David Cragg. David's career and achievements spanned decades. Everything he contributed to our movement and... - Menzies Electorate: Hong Kong Club (1 speech)
It's hard to hold onto good friends over time, but you've got to make an effort. So, when a club that was formed by friends celebrates its 60th anniversary, we shouldn't just celebrate it; we... - Australian Public Service (1 speech)
My parents came here in the 1960s to work in the Public Service and play their part in the national story, just like thousands of other Australians who came here and the generations that followed... - Longman Electorate: Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred (1 speech)
I want to take this opportunity to thank my community for the superb manner in which they dealt with ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. We were pretty fortunate; we dodged a bullet. We didn't get it as... - Renewable Energy (1 speech)
I represent a community that understands the value of our land, our industries and our future. That's why there is so much community opposition to the proposed Mitchells Flat Solar Farm. We all... - Micah Women Leaders Network (1 speech)
ARCHER () (): Last week, a group of 120 Tasmanian women gathered in Launceston for the Micha Women Leaders Network dinner. The event brought women together for an important conversation on social... - Medicare (1 speech)
There was a lot of good news in last night's budget. We had tax cuts and we had more policy for housing and help for people to buy their first home. But something that my community are really... - Albanese Government (1 speech)
A glimpse into the future can be inspiring, it can be exciting or it can be frightening. The view of the future is often informed by the deeds of the past, or, as the philosopher George Santayana... - Budget (1 speech)
As my wonderful colleague the member for Reid, Sally Sitou, said last night about the budget, 'It's like a fourth child.' It was unexpected but a very pleasant surprise. I tell you, last night... - Federal Election (1 speech)
There's only one thing that regional Australians fear more than the second term of the Albanese-Marles government and that would be the first term of an Albanese-Bandt government backed by their... - Budget (1 speech)
The No. 1 priority of the federal Labor government is fighting the cost of living. As the Treasurer got to his feet in this place last night, Australia took another step to undo the rot that set... - Economy: Regional Australia (1 speech)
As a regional MP, what I like to remind everyone in this chamber when I get up—everyone opposite and especially on the crossbenches—is that regional Australia is the economic... - Labor Government (1 speech)
Australians know the Albanese government represents all—everyone—because we too come from all walks of life. We are tradies, we are small-business owners, we're lawyers, and we're... - Budget (2 speeches)
