  • Braddon Electorate: Albanese Government (1 speech)
    No industry in Braddon is safe from Labor's economic wrecking ball. Labor's mantra appears to be, 'Delay, delay, delay,' and it's shameful. My people have had enough. On Tasmania's west coast,...
  • Taxation (1 speech)
    From 1 July this year, the Albanese Labor government will deliver a tax cut for every taxpayer in the electorate of Bean. A primary school teacher in Bean working at Arawang Primary School in...
  • Bowman Electorate: Redland City Council Australia Day Awards (1 speech)
    Each year Redland City Council recognises outstanding residents and community organisations within the Redlands through the annual Australia Day awards. It is a terrific night to acknowledge the...
  • Albanese Government (1 speech)
    A helping hand: it's the Australian way, and it's most definitely the Labor way. I'm proud to be a member of a government that recognises that almost all of us, at some stage, need that helping...
  • Cybercrime: Discrimination, Middle East (1 speech)
    As a tolerant society, we are rightly proud of our multiculturalism, but conflict in the Middle East is testing us. Since October, we've seen an increase in racial vilification and, with it,...
  • Workplace Relations (1 speech)
    Because of this government, workers are benefiting from better pay, improved job security and stronger workplace rights. We have closed the loopholes. We are a party of the workers. We are...
  • Taxation (1 speech)
    Guess who paid more tax on their income last year—you or your gas company? There's a good chance it was you. Most fossil fuel multinationals in Australia paid zero company tax between 2014...
  • Cost of Living (1 speech)
    Everyone agrees that there is a need to help households with the cost of living. For working households there are two key aspects to that: what they earn and how much tax they pay. What's...
  • Durack Electorate: Women (1 speech)
    As International Women's Day approaches, I'm delighted to be shining a light on the remarkable accomplishments of the Durack female leaders that I've had the pleasure of working with and...
  • Workplace Relations (1 speech)
    Yesterday I am sure many of us here witnessed the final arc in the Nemesis saga. By that I mean the nemesis to hardworking Australians. Ever since the closing the loopholes bill was introduced...
  • Cost of Living (4 speeches)
    I rise today to talk about the cost-of-living crisis that is gripping Australian households, and, unfortunately, it's happened at the feet of this terrible Labor government. People out there are...
  • Taxation (1 speech)
    Today, we witnessed the absurdity of an opposition leader who vocally opposes Labor's tax cuts but plans to vote for them. What a cruel joke! On 1 July this year, every Australian taxpayer will...
  • Defence Procurement (1 speech)
    It's a frightening time in my home state of South Australia if you're in the defence sector right now. We're seeing daily reports of imminent, dramatic changes to the continuous shipbuilding...
  • Workplace Relations (1 speech)
    The Liberal and National parties want to end the weekend. They don't want Australians to have downtime. They don't want workers to be able to spend time uninterrupted with their families. They...
  • Housing, Dunkley By-Election (2 speeches)
    The Prime Minister is a gold medallist for broken promises, and today we see another broken promise. The government's 1.2 million homes promise has already been trashed. It's in tatters....
  • Workplace Relations, Taxation (1 speech)
    Things are getting better for Australian workers. On this side of the House, we are committed to making sure that they get to earn more and keep more of what they earn. This week, the second part...
  • Albanese Government (3 speeches)
    One of the great disappointments for people across Australia and across the world, indeed, is the loss of trust of leaders, whether it's in business, media or government, but this Prime Minister,...
  • Taxation, Workplace Relations (1 speech)
    Eleven million Australians deserve the bigger tax cut that our government has designed and is legislating. These tax cuts will give every taxpayer in my electorate of Hasluck some much-needed...
  • Victoria: Bushfires (1 speech)
    ():  Today in Victoria, we've got our worst bushfire day of the summer. As a matter of fact, it's a code red. We're already seeing fires in the Grampians and in and around Beaufort. Can...
  • Taxation (2 speeches)
    Over the past few weeks here in parliament, we've all had front-row seats to the Liberals' tax cut circus, and without a doubt the ringmaster of that circus has been the shadow Treasurer. His...
