Matthew Canavan (Queensland, Liberal National Party, Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) Share this | Hansard source

Ms Campion was an effective employee in my office. She clearly had the skills and experience to perform the role she did. She's had extensive experience in the media, including as a deputy chief of staff at The Daily Telegraph. She worked in government for a number of years before coming to work for me, as well. She spent the vast majority of her time helping my office improve the professionalism of our digital media content. She particularly had a role in organising a tour of the Bowen Basin and North and Central Queensland to sell the message from those areas of the country about how important our resources sector is—a message that the Labor Party could well heed, because they don't seem to get this message very often from their own representatives up there. Ms Campion worked effectively in my office, albeit only for three months, as I had to resign from the ministry over the citizenship issue, and she was an effective employee for me.
