- Fowler Electorate: King Tom's Club (1 speech)
King Tom's Club, founded in 1965 by Croatian migrants, sits right in the heart of my Fowler electorate. For decades it has been more than just a sporting ground; it has been a home for culture,... - Koch, Cr Paul (1 speech)
Today I rise to acknowledge the passing of Councillor Paul Koch and to honour a life defined by steadfast service to the people of Gawler. For more than 15 years as an elected member, Paul gave... - Forrest Electorate: Busselton Margaret River Airport (1 speech)
The Busselton Margaret River Airport is at the very heart of Forrest, lying there with great potential to diversify the local economy away from being reliant on just mining, and my community is... - Housing (1 speech)
For many first home buyers, the dream of owning a home can just feel out of reach. Saving for a 20 per cent deposit while paying rent, groceries and bills is simply too much. That's why the... - Lunar New Year (1 speech)
As the Lunar New Year approaches, families and communities across Kooyong are coming together to share meals, enjoy lanterns and lion dances and celebrate renewal. This year we welcome the Year... - Myanmar (1 speech)

I rise to expose what looks like an industrial-scale conspiracy at the heart of the Australian Labor Party. Last year the Prime Minister shut down parliament's scrutinising the scale of the... - Domestic and Family Violence (1 speech)
When I was young, the only red flags that I knew about were the ones that I had to swim between at the beach. There were no conversations about what a bad relationship looked like. Gen X women... - Aged Care (1 speech)
The new Aged Care Act and Support at Home Program came into effect on 1 November 2025, touted as significant reform to how in-home aged care is delivered and funded. The government assured older... - Timor-Leste (1 speech)
On Sunday, I attended Mass at St Mary's Star of the Sea Cathedral. Our children were baptised there and had their first Holy Communion there. Our daughter Sally's godfather is an old Army mate of... - Economy (1 speech)
Last week's RBA decision confirmed what Australian families already know: there is no light at the end of the tunnel under Labor. It's too hard to buy a home, it's too hard to start a business,... - Ramadan (1 speech)
With the sighting of the crescent moon just one week away, I rise to send my warmest wishes to the Muslim communities across Maribyrnong as they prepare for the holy month of Ramadan. From the... - Parkes Electorate: News Media (1 speech)
With the huge changes in the media and communications industry over the past 20 years, it has become harder and harder for local newspapers to survive. I'm proud to say that community journalism... - Arthur, Ms Emily (1 speech)
Last night our community got behind our local star Emily Arthur as she represented Australia in the snowboard halfpipe at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. Emily is a Hughes local from Woronora... - Cost of Living (1 speech)
Today I want to deliver a message to all Australians: you deserve better from this government. I say that because I know that in suburbs in my electorate, like Parkwood, Pimpama or Pacific Pines,... - Barnett, Mr Josh and Ms Bec (1 speech)
I want to recognise two outstanding locals from Singleton, Josh and Bec Barnett, who have both claimed Australian titles at the recent ABCRA National Finals Rodeo in Tamworth. They are husband... - Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (9 speeches)
Rotting from the top - Medicare (1 speech)
Our record investment in Medicare is seeing real cost-of-living relief around the country, like in my community in Melbourne's western suburbs. Just take a walk around Caroline Springs, Deer Park... - Bowen, Hon. Christopher Eyles Guy (1 speech)
I'm pretty sure, during this question time, we're going to see those in government looking back at people's track records to see whether they're suitable for higher office or not, so what I... - Cheaper Home Batteries Program (2 speeches)
As of this week, 3,247 households in my electorate of Sturt have installed a battery under the Albanese Labor government's Cheaper Home Batteries scheme. That's 3,247 households using clean...
