No less than 24 hours ago, Chris Bowen, a minister of the Crown, lied to the Australian people. - Budget (1 speech)
It means we're prepared to change arrangements that are skewed away from people trying to make a go of it and skewed towards those of us who are already doing reasonably well. It means we don't... - Anzac Day (1 speech)
Anzac Day is an important date each year when the country stops to honour and reflect on the sacrifices and bravery of those who fought for our freedoms. We thank those who continue to serve to... - Urban Camp (1 speech)

It has long been my passion and commitment to listen to, learn from and empower younger generations. It is why I became a youth worker and it is why, as the member for Dunkley, I pledged in my... - Budget (1 speech)
