With the social-distancing restrictions that have been in place due to COVID-19, I believe it is more important than ever to stay connected with our communities. Last month I hosted two tele town halls with the help of Senator Hume, the Assistant Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and Financial Technology, and with the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Housing, the member for Deakin, to discuss the impacts of COVID-19 on Chisholm and the country. There were many great questions. For example, Ms Valerie Khoa from Glen Waverley wanted to know more about JobSeeker, Mr Gareth Carr from Box Hill talked about helping regional tourism and Mr Nick Theodorou of Burwood East asked about opening up businesses to get the economy firing.

I was absolutely thrilled to have on hand two outstanding members of the coalition government with a wealth of economic and financial experience. I would like to thank both of them for their time and interest in Chisholm. Their expertise is just one of the reasons that the coalition government is and will continue to be the party that Australians can trust to bring us back to prosperity.
