- Stedman, Ms Carolyn, Stedman, Mr David (Dave) (1 speech)
I take this opportunity to congratulate two very special constituents in my electorate of Bradfield—Turramurra residents Carolyn and David Stedman—on an extraordinary milestone.... - Scott, Mr Paul Brian (1 speech)
I rise to pay tribute to a much-loved local identity, Paul Scott, who passed away last month. I extend my deepest condolences to his beloved daughters, Emma-Jane and Grace; his partner, Victoria;... - South Australia: Gun Control (1 speech)
The Prime Minister doesn't decide South Australia's gun laws; Premier Peter Malinauskas does—and unless he rules out changes, law-abiding firearm owners in my electorate of Barker remain... - Anthony, Ms Jakara (1 speech)
I rise to recognise an outstanding achievement by a remarkable local sportswoman, Jakara Anthony, who has once again shown why she is Australia's most successful winter athlete and our nation's... - Housing (1 speech)
In the past, reforms to how we tax property have been constrained by fears of political backlash, particularly following the 2019 federal election, but the political landscape has changed and the... - Makin Electorate: Australia Day (1 speech)
Every day, thousands of Australians quietly go about their day doing invaluable community work. And today I acknowledge those people who were this year recognised with Tea Tree Gully and... - Homelessness (1 speech)
Often in this place I talk about the importance of a strong economy. That's not because it's the end game; it's the means. It's the means by which we build the hospitals and the schools. It's a... - Solomon Electorate: Medicare, President of Timor-Leste (1 speech)
Today, 11 February, is a great day, because I am able to confirm for the people of Solomon, my electorate—Darwin and Palmerston—that due to the actions of this Albanese Labor... - Cost of Living (1 speech)
The cost of living is out of control. In my electorate of Hinkler, one of the lowest socioeconomic regions in the country, pressure points like interest rate rises hit hard. Only yesterday I... - Superannuation (1 speech)
Because we on this side of the House are a united team focused on delivering for working Australians, today we introduce changes that will make our super system fairer from top to bottom. This is... - Regional Infrastructure (1 speech)
Yesterday, the Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories tried to school us in question time, but maybe it's the minister who needs to go back to school. The fact is... - Medicare (1 speech)
Labor is the party of Medicare. We created it, we protected it and, under the Albanese Labor government, we are strengthening it for the future. At the last election, the Albanese Labor... - Fiscal Policy (1 speech)
Labor's spendathon is costing the people of my electorate dearly. Commonwealth spending has blown out from around 24 per cent to 27 per cent of GDP. It's the highest level outside of a recession... - Moreton Electorate: Health Care (1 speech)
People have been diligently counting. The numbers are in. It's the hottest topic in the gallery. But I'm not talking about the opposition—no, I am talking about the national bulk-billing... - Calare Electorate: Public Works (1 speech)
I'm calling for an independent inquiry into Orange City Council's management of the Orange Regional Sporting Precinct project. This $75 million development is made up of state and federal funding... - Hunter Electorate: Health Care (1 speech)
Doctor, doctor, give me the news! In the Hunter, for too long the news was not great. Too often the next line felt like, 'And here's the bill.' Every family in the Hunter want to know they can... - Defence Estate (1 speech)
Last week's announcement of Labor's fire sale of more than 60 Defence sites was an absolute disgrace. The sale of these sites is nothing more than a way for the Deputy Prime Minister to raise... - Medicare (1 speech)
What happens in this place matters. What programs we fund, what laws we pass and what decisions we make all have the potential to change lives for the better. When it comes to Medicare, I'm so... - Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (5 speeches)
Well, it has all now been revealed. When Geoffrey Watson SC started an inquiry into the Queensland CFMEU, what he found was CFMEU officials standing over public servants and directing them like... - Medicare (2 speeches)
Here's a report: 'Because of the Albanese Labor government, more people in the seat of Brisbane can see a GP for free.' This is just one step we're taking to rebuild Medicare, our world-class...
