Jim Chalmers (Rankin, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer) | Hansard source

The Prime Minister and every single member of his cabinet takes the views of our caucus colleagues very seriously. We take seriously the views that are put to us in our regular engagements in the communities that we represent around the country as we go about implementing these very important and very ambitious reforms. It's not unusual for good local members to relay to ministers issues which are raised by their constituents. That's how it's supposed to work.

The member for Sturt is not just a good local member; the member for Sturt is an outstanding local member. The good people of Sturt, in that wonderful part of Adelaide, are learning, for the first time in some time, what it's like to have a good, engaged, effective local member.
