  • Sri Lankan Tamils (1 speech)
    Yesterday, I attended a photographic exhibition here in Parliament House displaying the oppression, persecution and systematic acts of violence against Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka. The photos on...
  • Veterans (1 speech)
    For all of Labor's out-of-control spending, they somehow manage to find a way to cut services to veterans, and they think that's okay. A $5,000 cap on allied health services is what this...
