():  The people of Hasluck and Australia expect us to stand up for them here. They expect probity in politics. The Albanese government has created the National Anti-Corruption Commission, introduced significant reforms to privacy and electoral laws, and created a new Administrative Review Tribunal. They expect us to stand up for the preservation and protection of our fragile natural environment; the coalition opposes Australia's first environmental protection agency. They expect real action on climate change. We have delivered emissions targets in law, a safeguard mechanism with teeth, emissions reporting by our largest companies and the greatest investments in renewables in our history.

Integrity, environment and climate change were some of the very real concerns that people in Hasluck raised with me on their doors during the last election, and I'm glad to be a member of a government, the Albanese Labor government, that has taken solid action across each of these portfolios—real action that is now bearing real fruit.

In the coming months when I meet constituents in Hasluck and when my Labor colleagues meet with their constituents, we can hold our heads high and tell them that we have stood here for them, unlike the Liberals and Nationals. We have voted in their interests, and we have delivered.
