In speaking after me on my private member's motion earlier today about Medicare, unfortunately, the member for Forrest claimed I had spoken about 'struggles in accessing quality health care for my family'. That was a particularly low reframing of my words and misrepresents entirely what I said. Nothing could be further from the truth. I shared with the parliament the life-threatening health challenges that my husband and mother each experienced last year and spoke of the amazing efforts of their surgeons, doctors, nurses, physios and rehab specialists, who got them to good health, and the primary care practitioners who now support them. Both my husband and my mother are alive and thriving thanks to speedy, accessible health care in our world-class system, and I would ask the member for Forrest to think twice before he maligns our health professionals or misrepresents others in this chamber.

I would like to take this opportunity to correct the record.

In my remarks made to the House during debate on a motion moved by the member for Curtin on 3 February 2026, I said:

Five months after this act of violence, we're still waiting on investigations to be completed and charges to be issued.

While it is true that an investigation into the attack by a group of Neo-Nazis on Camp Sovereignty continues in Victoria, it is incorrect to state that charges have not been laid. I was made aware after I completed my speech that people have in fact been charged for offences relating to that incident, and I therefore wish to correct the record in that respect. Thank you for the opportunity to do so.
