encoded: () (): The incorporated speech read as follows— Thank you Deputy Speaker Today I would like to celebrate some truly exciting steps forward for health services in the northern suburbs in my electorate of Pearce. Our community continues to grow at an incredible pace, and with that growth comes a clear and urgent need for more accessible, local health care. For years—including during my time as Mayor of the City of Wanneroo—I have been advocating for more local health services for our fast-growing suburbs. The communities of Two Rocks, Yanchep, Eglinton, Alkimos, Jindalee, and Butler make up one of the largest and fastest-growing regions in Australia. This enormous growth continues to place pressure on the Joondalup Health Campus, and with the large, expanding, east Wanneroo development now taking shape, that pressure will only increase. Since becoming the federal member for Pearce, I have secured the government's support for urgent care clinics in Clarkson and Yanchep, and have worked closely and diligently with Edith Cowan University and Professor Cobie Rudd to help bring new medical facilities to Yanchep east and west. These projects are not just announcements—they are real, tangible commitments to meeting the growing needs of our community. As a longstanding member of the Joondalup Health Campus Community Board of Advice, I have seen firsthand the increasing demand on services. Even back in 2019, Premier Roger Cook—then Minister for Health—acknowledged that additional facilities were needed in the northern suburbs, particularly around Yanchep. The demand we see today confirms that urgency more than ever. We live in a beautiful and thriving part of Western Australia, but when local children are turned away from sports clubs because there are simply too many players, it's a sign that our infrastructure—including health facilities—must keep up. Since my own diagnosis with multiple system atrophy, a rare neurological condition, I have become even more determined to fig…

encoded: () (): The incorporated speech read as follows— It is with a heavy heart that I honour the memory of those whose lives were tragically taken in the horrific antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi last month. This was an act of unimaginable hatred—one that struck at the heart of our values as Australians and as human beings. We mourn deeply for the 15 innocent lives lost, for the families and friends whose worlds have been shattered, and for all those whose lives will never be the same. To those families, we say: your pain is shared by an entire nation. We grieve with you, we stand beside you, and we will continue to hold your loved ones in our hearts. To the survivors who carry both visible and invisible scars: we commend your courage and resilience. Your determination to move forward, despite all you have endured, inspires us all. We also stand with the Jewish community, who were the direct target of this appalling act of hate. You are not alone. We condemn antisemitism in all its forms, and we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to ensuring that every member of our community can live safely, freely, and without fear. I wish to pay special tribute to our first responders—the police officers, paramedics, emergency personnel, surf lifesaving volunteers and community members—who attended the scene with courage and compassion, racing towards unimaginable danger to protect others. Several police officers were injured in the line of duty, and we acknowledge their immense bravery and selfless service. Their actions embody the very best of who we are as Australians. In the face of hate, they responded with humanity. In the face of fear, they showed courage. And in the face of tragedy, they gave us hope. Let this parliament, and our nation, honour all those affected by this senseless act by rejecting hatred in every form. We must speak out against prejudice, build bridges between our communities, and protect the spirit of inclusion that defines our country. The powerful theme…

encoded: () (): The incorporated speech read as follows: Thank you, Deputy Speaker The Migration Amendment {Combatting Migrant Exploitation) Bill 2025 marks a significant and necessary advancement in strengthening our temporary skilled work visa program whilst protecting migrant workers who contribute so much to our nation. I am firmly in support of this bill and the progressive reforms it brings under the Albanese Labor government's migration strategy. This legislation represents a crucial step forward in strengthening protections for migrant workers and ensuring our temporary skilled work visa program operates with the highest standards of fairness, transparency, and accountability. Australia has long been a nation built on migration. From the earliest days of settlement to the diverse, vibrant communities we cherish today, migrants have played an indispensable role in shaping our identity and fuelling our economic success. The hardworking people who come to our shores bring with them skills, aspirations, and the hope for a better future—not just for themselves and their families but also for the communities that warmly welcome them. Yet, despite their contributions, too many migrant workers have been subject to exploitation and unfair treatment. The temporary skilled work visa program, while essential to meeting the needs of our economy, has at times been exploited by unscrupulous employers, leaving workers vulnerable and undermining the integrity of our migration system. This bill acknowledges those challenges and responds with a practical, accountable solution: a publicly accessible register of approved work sponsors. This register empowers migrant workers by providing an accessible tool to verify that their sponsoring employer is legitimate and compliant with regulatory standards. Too often, workers face uncertainty about who is sponsoring them and whether their jobs are genuine or safe. By publishing the name of each approved sponsor alongside their Australian Busines…

encoded: The incorporated speech read as follows— Thank you Deputy Speaker I am pleased to give my strong support for the VET Student Loans (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2025. While this Bill addresses a technical and legislative issue, its implications are far-reaching. This legislation not only resolves an important legal gap but also strengthens the foundation of Australia's vocational education and training system, which is crucial to our workforce and economy. Vocational Education and Training, or VET, is often described as a pathway—but it is so much more than that. It is the backbone of skilled employment and economic growth throughout Australia. From the suburbs to regional towns and cities, Vocational Education and Training delivers the practical skills that industries rely on every day. Whether it is plumbing houses, engineering infrastructure, carpentry, automotive repairs, aged care, or information technology, VET supports a diverse range of professions essential for our nation. The accessibility of vocational education is critical. Many Australians choose Vocational Education and Training because it delivers hands-on education aligned with workforce needs. It provides opportunities for young people starting out, for mature-age learners looking to upskill or retrain, and for communities in regional and remote areas where options can be limited. The VET Student Loans program is an important part of this ecosystem. By offering income-contingent loans for eligible diploma-level courses and above, the program removes upfront financial barriers. This means students can focus on their studies without the immediate worry of tuition fees, and repay based on their income once they enter the workforce. It is an equitable, sustainable funding model that broadens access and supports lifelong learning. The Bill under discussion today tackles an issue that emerged during a review by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR)—specifically, how students' tax fil…

encoded: I speak today with pride today to congratulate all Pearce winter sport groups on their seasons. The dedication, perseverance and sportsmanship shown by players, coaches volunteers and supporters is truly commendable. Each athlete and team help to build a vibrant sporting culture uniting our communities. Sport fosters team work, encourages healthy living and teaches resilience, respect and fair play. Beyond competition, family and friend support creates strong belonging and pride. To the championship winning teams and individuals, I offer warm congratulations. Your success reflects hours of training, sacrifice and commitment. You have brought pride to your clubs and inspired younger athletes. Your achievements set high standards for excellence and community spirit. Equally valued are those who gave their best without trophies; the true spirit of sport is effort and participation. Every player, coach and volunteer strengthens community social fabric. Your involvement promotes wellbeing, builds friendships and creates lasting memories. As winter ends and summer approaches, attention shifts to community safety and enjoyment. Summer brings outdoor activities, beaches and festivals, but increased risk. We honour our volunteers who keep us safe, especially our bushfire brigades and SES members. Your bravery protects lives, homes and nature. With rising environmental challenges, your commitment is vital. I also acknowledge the three surf lifesaving clubs at my community beaches, and those around Australia. These volunteers patrol, rescue and educate the public, ensuring safety during summer. Their work allows families to enjoy the coast with peace of mind. Beyond lifesaving, they promote fitness, discipline and leadership, teaching water safety and building confidence in youths. What unites athletes, firefighters, SES members and surf lifesavers is volunteering, which is our community backbone. Volunteers give selflessly and strengthen social bonds. Their efforts support me…

encoded: Peter Moyes Anglican Community School in Mindarie celebrates 25 years this year. As the proud foundation registrar, I've seen this community grow with care, vision and faith. When we began building this school in 1999, our goal was not just about the buildings. It was about creating a welcoming place where every student felt supported to learn, grow and become a strong leader. Mr Peter Moyes, an exemplary Australian educator, showed great leadership and commitment to education, and the school continues to honour his legacy. I want to especially thank Mr Allan Shaw, the school's foundation principal. His guidance in those early years helped shaped the positive culture and strong academic program that the school is known for today. Over 25 years, this school has grown into more than just a place of learning. It is a caring community that supports every student through challenges and celebrations. This milestone is thanks to the commitment and dedication of the principal, Mr Ben Lomas; the staff; the support of families; and the energy of all the students. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this story so special. As the school moves forward, I am confident that it will continue to inspire and empower many more students into the future. Congratulations to the whole Peter Moyes community on 25 wonderful years.

encoded: It is with profound sadness that I rise today to honour two extraordinary men whose passing has left an indelible void in our community, Mr Nick Trandos and Mr Bill Meredith. Nick Trandos was not only a dear friend and a mentor to me personally, but also highly regarded and respected within our community. For over 20 years, I was privileged to know Nick and his wonderful family. Our conversations were often filled with sound advice and a sense of humour that helped shape who I am today. His leadership as Mayor of the City of Wanneroo and President of the WA Market Gardeners Association left a lasting impact on the Wanneroo and Joondalup regions. He masterfully combined professional expertise with heartfelt community service, spearheading projects that nurtured social cohesion and regional development. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Nick was a cherished son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. I have fond memories of many hours around the Trandos family dining room table, where we regularly put the world to rights. His wife, Sophie, his soulmate and constant support, and their children, Jim, Tanya, Dixie and Arthur, embody the strong family values that Nick treasured. His hearty laughs, warm hugs and wise counsel will be sorely missed but forever remembered. The community has truly lost a treasure in Nick Trandos. Likewise, we mourn the passing of Bill Meredith, a quiet achiever with a big heart whose presence was felt far and wide. Bill was a founding member and president of the Wanneroo Business Association. He held his connections within the business community with great pride and care. Known for his honesty, hard work and sensible advice, Bill earned the trust and respect of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Over two decades I enjoyed a close relationship with Bill and his family, sharing moments of joy and times of grief and hardship, always strengthened by his unwavering support and wisdom. Bill's dedication to grassr…

encoded: I rise to give a detailed update on several very important healthcare projects taking place in Yanchep in my electorate of Pearce in Western Australia. These projects will make a genuine and lasting difference to the lives of the people in my local community. Firstly, I am very pleased to report that the Yanchep Medicare urgent care clinic is progressing well. This clinic was a major commitment at the 2025 federal election and it is on track to open before the end of this financial year. The clinic will be bulk-billed and available for walk-in patients who need urgent care. This clinic will reduce the pressure on emergency departments. Many people in our community often visit hospitals with conditions that can be treated in an urgent care setting. By providing local access to these services, we can improve timely care and reduce waiting times across the health system. Yanchep and the surrounding suburbs are among the fastest-growing corridors in Western Australia. The population in this corridor is expected to grow by over 400 per cent by 2046, which is significant. This rapid growth places increased demand on existing healthcare infrastructure, and the new Yanchep Medicare urgent care clinic is designed to meet this growing demand, ensuring that families in this area will have better access to urgent health services nearby. The Edith Cowan University Health Centre precinct in Yanchep continues to show excellent progress. The advancement is thanks to a strong partnership between the Australian federal government, the Western Australian government and Edith Cowan University. Together, these partners have committed $20.7 million to establish a multipurpose primary care centre. This centre will also support important clinical training and health research activities. The ECU Health Centre in Yanchep will feature two co-located integrated health facilities designed to meet the current and future healthcare needs of the expanding Yanchep community. Stage 1 of this precinc…

encoded: I'm proud to stand before you today as the member for Pearce, representing this vibrant and diverse community in one of the largest and fastest growing areas in the northern metropolitan area of Perth. As the former mayor of Wanneroo and president of the Western Australian Local Government Association, I'm proud to continue this service in the Australian parliament. Our electorate of Pearce is a region of immense growth and opportunity, and our community proudly reflects the multicultural tapestry of Australia. I'm proud to highlight the significant investments the Albanese Labor government has made in health care within our community. The Clarkson Medicare Urgent Care Clinic has been a welcome addition for our residents. This clinic provides convenient bulk-billed medical care seven days a week, easing pressure on the Joondalup Health Campus. Furthermore, we have successfully petitioned for and plan to establish another Medicare urgent care clinic in Yanchep. This commitment demonstrates our intent to provide quality healthcare services for the benefit of the Pearce community. We have also invested in community infrastructure, including the extension of freeway to Romeo Road and the train line to Yanchep, with two additional stations at Alkimos and Eglinton that opened last year. The Albanese Labor government has contributed $30 million to the Alkimos Aquatic and Recreation Centre, which will provide a fantastic help for recreation learning, will create jobs and will stimulate economic growth in our region. On a broader scale, the Albanese Labor government has achieved significant milestone across Australia, including strengthening Medicare, reducing the cost of PBS medicines, increasing the minimum wage, giving every taxpayer a tax cut, introducing fee-free TAFE, creating more jobs, adding two weeks to paid parental leave, ensuring every shopper gets a better deal at the checkout, helping more Australians own their own home, helping secure a future made in Austral…

encoded: Today, I would like to address a need in my community of Yanchep in the federal seat of Pearce, and that is the establishment of a Medicare urgent care clinic. As our population is expected to double by 2030, the demand for accessible health care services is becoming increasingly urgent. Currently, Yanchep residents face long travel times to access essential medical services. The nearest facilities often require a lengthy journey, which can be particularly challenging for families with young children or elderly members. An urgent care clinic would provide immediate care for non-life-threatening conditions without the need for an appointment. This means that, when a child has a fever or an adult has anything from a minor injury to something a bit more serious, they can receive timely treatment close to home. Accessing health care quickly is a fundamental right that we should ensure for all community members, and the Albanese Labor government is fully aware of this and committed to addressing it. As a breast cancer survivor, I understand firsthand the importance of accessible health care. My journey through cancer treatment has made me acutely aware of the challenges patients face when seeking timely medical attention. This experience has driven my commitment to improve healthcare accessibility in our local communities. Living in the northern suburbs of Perth and having to travel the long distance daily to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth for my cancer treatment, I identified the need for local treatment options and played an intrinsic part in establishing Shenton House in Joondalup with Sue Dash, a local resident, business owner and fellow cancer survivor, as well as our oncologist, Dr Nigel Spry. This centre now provides vital imaging and oncology services in support of patients in the northern suburbs and has become a local beacon of hope for many. Establishing an urgent care clinic will work in parallel with the need for a hospital in Yanchep. It is an essen…

encoded: Today we celebrate a significant achievement. The Australian government has successfully created over one million jobs since May 2022. This milestone reflects the dedication of countless Australians contributing to our nation's recovery and growth. Under the Albanese Labor government, we have seen the largest increase in employment during a single parliamentary term in our history, with more than 652,000 of these being full-time positions. This accomplishment is particularly commendable given the global economic challenges, including pandemic effects, inflation and geopolitical uncertainties. The creation of these jobs demonstrates effective governance and a clear vision for a prosperous future. It signifies the commitment not only to recover from past setbacks but also to build a resilient economy capable of withstanding future challenges. These jobs created represent hope for families, stability for communities and opportunities for individuals to realise their dreams. This achievement is a collective effort and a collaboration between government, businesses and workforce. I commend the Albanese Labor government for its unwavering support for Western Australia, recognising it is the engine room of our economy. Western Australia is not just a state. It drives economic growth through its vast resources. The state has consistently contributed significantly to national prosperity, accounting for over 20 per cent of economic growth in recent years, largely fuelled by critical minerals, energy resources and agricultural products. The Albanese Labor government's commitment to Western Australia is evident in policies prioritising job creation and economic stability. By investing in infrastructure, education and training programs tailored for Western Australians, we ensure that this state continues to thrive. Developing critical industries in Western Australia supports local economies and strengthens our nation's position in global markets. One promising initiative is the …

encoded: I would like to celebrate an extraordinary individual whose unwavering commitment to service and compassion has transformed the lives of countless children globally. It is my honour to recognise Brother Thomas Oliver Pickett, affectionately known as Olly, who has been awarded 2025 Senior Australian of the Year. Olly's journey is inspiring. The co-founder of Wheelchairs For Kids, which is based in my electorate of Pearce, he has dedicated nearly three decades to ensuring that children with disabilities get mobility and independence. His incredible efforts have provided over 61,000 custom-built wheelchairs to children in more than 80 countries—a remarkable achievement that reflects his vision and determination. Olly's work transcends wheelchair provision. It empowers children to access education, engage with their communities and experience the joy of childhood. In ensuring that each wheelchair is functional and adaptable to meet young users' growing needs, he understands that mobility is a fundamental right. What truly sets Olly apart is his ability to inspire others. Leading a team of 250 volunteers, he has created a community united by purpose. His humility shone through in his acceptance speech, in which he dedicated his award to his volunteers. Congratulations, Olly Pickett. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and for showing us what it means to serve with heart and with passion.

It is a privilege to recognise this significant occasion as we unite to advocate for a cause that touches the lives of more than 130,000 Australians living with type 1 diabetes. This includes my beautiful grandson, who was diagnosed at age 10. His treatments continue to be monitored and amended with his growth, so this is very close to my heart. I am very proud to wear the blue JDRF T-shirt. I have joined my grandson on JDRF walks, and would like to give a special shout-out to the amazing WA team of Dakota Edmiston, Louise and Sabine Murray, Scott and Digby Price, and alsoto the hardworking Mel Eveille and Sydney Yovic for their excellent work and their Kids in the House initiative. Together with their families, these advocates have travelled from around the nation to share their stories to make a compelling case for the Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Research Network. I want to commend each and every one of you for your unwavering dedication and tireless efforts in working with members and senators across Australia. Your advocacy has not gone unnoticed. The research conducted has provided hope—a beacon in what can often feel like a daunting journey. The advances made through this research are not just numbers or statistics; they represent real lives, real families and real futures that are being transformed through science and innovation. Thursday 14 November marked World Diabetes Day—a day when a passionate and articulate community raised awareness about diabetes and stressed its advocacy for research that will lead to better treatments, early detection methods and ultimately a cure. I'd also like to acknowledge the valuable work in the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Sport. Under the leadership of the member for Macarthur, this committee has conducted an…

It brings pioneers, families and friends together to celebrate the spirit of Wanneroo. WA Premier Roger Cook officially opened the show and it was attended by federal minister Anne Aly and state minister Sabine Winton. Over the course of two vibrant days, attendees enjoyed a delightful array of activities, including stunning displays in the Margaret Cockman Pavilion, showcasing produce from our local market gardeners, arts and crafts, and floral arrangements. There was something for everyone to enjoy. The horse events captivated many, highlighting the rich agricultural heritage of our region. The entertainment was nothing short of spectacular, with live music and thrilling motorbike stunts, and even breathtaking skydivers. The dazzling fireworks lit up our skies each evening, and these moments of joy remind us of the strength and unity within our community. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Wanneroo Agricultural Society and all the volunteers, led by their hardworking president, Dot Newton, whose tireless efforts made this event possible. Her dedication ensures that we continue this cherished tradition. I'm very proud to be a patron of the Wanneroo Show and I look forward to its continued success for many years to come.

This is a time for introspection and anticipation as we embrace the opportunities that lie ahead in 2025. To our remarkable students, I extend my congratulations on a successful year. Your hard work, resilience and dedication have brought you this far, and I have every confidence that you will continue to shine brightly in the days and years to come. As we approach the hot summer season, I extend my sincere thanks to our three Surf Life Saving clubs: Quinns Mindarie, Alkimos and Yanchep. May your summer be safe and successful. The commitment you show in keeping our beaches safe is invaluable, and we deeply appreciate all that you do. Our community thrives because of individuals like you who dedicate their time and effort to ensuring the safety of others. Your vigilance allows families and friends to enjoy our beautiful coastline with peace of mind. With the 12-month anniversary of the devastating Mariginiup bushfires upon us, I'd like to acknowledge: our dedicated Wanneroo, Quinns Rocks and Two Rocks volunteer bushfire brigades; our Wanneroo Volunteer Fire Support brigade; and our Wanneroo-Joondalup and Two Rocks SES units.
