  • Budget (1 speech)
    It's the morning after the budget, and what a disappointment it is for Tasmanians. Nothing in the budget from last night, that fizzer of a budget, makes up for a decade of attacks on wages, job...
  • Parkes Electorate: Climate Change (1 speech)
    The coalition government's commitment to reducing our emissions is no more apparent than it is in electorate of Parkes. Last Friday, along with representatives of AGL, we announced a $41 million...
  • Budget (1 speech)
    Before the last election, in 2019, with much hype and fanfare, the Prime Minister promised the people of Perth's northern suburbs a training hub in Wanneroo. Every budget since then has failed to...
  • Echuca-Moama Bridge (1 speech)
    It is with tremendous pride that I bring to the House's attention that, on Sunday 10 April, the largest transport infrastructure project in northern Victoria, the Echuca-Moama bridge, is set to...
  • Morrison Government: National Security (1 speech)
    In these uncertain, volatile times, governments show their true colours. The pressure of challenges is what makes or breaks governments. This government is full of ministers prancing around like...
  • Daintree Microgrid Project (1 speech)
    The Daintree microgrid project is signed, sealed and about to be delivered. I have fought tirelessly for this project for more than two decades and I am immensely pleased that the construction...
  • Budget (1 speech)
    The government says this budget is temporary and targeted. Well, I have another 'T' word for it—transactional. It seems they will do anything to try and buy the vote of Australians. The...
  • Mackellar Electorate: Music (1 speech)
    I rise to commend Newport Bay's music teacher Roc Koren AKA—wait for it—Captain Roc for his extraordinary efforts in helping inspire and influence the next generation of gifted...
  • Agriculture (1 speech)
    Australian farmers have seen costs skyrocket. Fertiliser, freight, packaging, fuel have all nearly doubled in the past 12 months and urgent action is required. For example, the biggest generic...
  • Boothby Electorate: Infrastructure (1 speech)
    I am so excited about the budget our government has handed down and I am particularly thrilled that the electorate of Boothby will see even more infrastructure upgrades. We have done so much for...
  • Budget (7 speeches)
    This Liberal-National government has neglected the environment at every turn. It has denied and ignored the threat of climate change at every turn. Unbelievably, this week's budget goes further....
  • Inland Rail (1 speech)
    I am delighted to report to the House we have taken the first concrete steps towards the construction of the Inland Rail project in the Toowoomba region. Last week the first sod was turned at the...
  • Aged Care (1 speech)
    Earlier today I met the most amazing aged-care worker. To support her residents when they have dementia, if they are from a non-English-speaking background, she learns their native tongue so that...
  • Cottesloe Beach (1 speech)
    Cottesloe Beach is one of the most well-known beaches in Perth. It features on postcards, it plays host to the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition and the iconic Rottnest Channel Swim, and...
  • Dobell Electorate: Roads (1 speech)
    People in my community on the Central Coast have been waiting for this government to fix the road through Wyong for years. It's a bottleneck that can take over half an hour to clear on a busy day...
  • Budget (1 speech)
    I say to the good people of Swan that the budget delivered by the Treasurer last night outlines the Morrison government's plan for a stronger future. It provides cost-of-living relief for...
  • Shortland Electorate: Health (1 speech)
    The seat of Shortland is suffering a GP crisis because of the cuts by this awful government, which include cuts to the GP after-hours service and reclassification as an area of no longer having a...
  • Budget (2 speeches)
    Last night's budget was a boon for homebuyers—150,000 places over three years for deposit assistance. It's a policy so compelling, it's been appropriated by the other side. I also note...
