- Cycling Without Age (1 speech)
I rise to acknowledge the hundreds of Australians who are volunteering to help reduce social isolation for older Australians and people with disabilities as part of Cycling Without Age Australia.... - Medicare (1 speech)
Today I rise to talk about the Albanese Labor government's work to strengthen Medicare and deliver cheaper medicines for Australians. Medicare is at the heart of our health system, and Labor is... - Australian National Flag (1 speech)
Flags are important symbols. That's why it is unlawful in Australia to display the flag of listed terrorist organisations like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic State and Neo-Nazi groups. None of those... - Health Care (1 speech)
Labor built Medicare and we will always strengthen it. We're working hard every day to make sure all Australians can get access to affordable health care when they need it most, and we're doing... - Racism (1 speech)
My electorate of Bradfield is proudly multicultural—Chinese, Jewish, Armenian and so many more. On the weekend I was contacted by a constituent deeply troubled by the anti-immigration... - Health Care (1 speech)
I'm delighted to highlight the ways in which the Albanese Labor government is strengthening Medicare in my electorate of Whitlam and also across the country. Our legislation to make cheaper... - Banking and Financial Services (1 speech)
Australians expect their bank to safeguard their money and to be alert to anything untoward going on. But too often this isn't the case. For instance, just last week, a couple recounted how... - Health Care (1 speech)
I want to talk about the health services and facilities available to Territorians. In the Northern Territory, we're going to have more doctors like my good friend here the member for Macarthur... - Bowel Cancer (1 speech)

I want to take you back to 1998. I was playing in Connecticut, took an elbow to the face, and my bottom lip was torn halfway off. A few dozen stitches later and I was back in my dorm room with a... - Renewable Energy (1 speech)
I make no apology that I'm probably seen as one of the more prominent ones in favour of abolishing net zero. Yesterday during question time, in fact, the Minister for Climate Change and Energy... - Health Care (1 speech)
I too rise today on this side of the House to speak about the Albanese Labor government's record on cheaper medicine, Medicare and health care for all Australians. This government is... - Taxation (2 speeches)
This week, Labor refused to rule out a tax on your spare bedroom. A tax on the room your kids grew up in, a tax on the roof over your head, or a tax on the home you worked your lifetime to build.... - Health Care (1 speech)
It's clear that the new member for Cook is also from the shire, and I say that with all its permutations. The member for Cook might want to know what Labor are doing rather than have a fantasy... - World Egg Day (1 speech)
Eggs may be humble, but this week they take centre stage in parliament as we celebrate World Egg Day. While the official date isn't until 10 October, we're taking a moment this week to recognise... - Health Care (1 speech)
When I'm out doorknocking in Airport West, in Gladstone Park and right across my electorate of Maribyrnong, people don't talk to me about politics; they talk to me about their health. As a proud... - Australian National Flag (1 speech)
Our Australian flag unites us. I know that, when a lot of people in this chamber and millions of people around our country see the Australian flag, they feel proud of it, whether it be flying... - Medicare (1 speech)
Medicare has been the backbone of my professional life as a paediatrician for 40 years. The coalition does not understand the importance of a universal health insurance scheme. They just don't... - Taxation (1 speech)
