- Gas Industry: Taxation (1 speech)
Here are some people the government should be listening to about a 25 per cent tax on gas exports instead of the gas lobbyists. Jakub asks: How is it possible that the government of Japan... - Jessop, Mr Alan Frederick, OAM (1 speech)
I rise to honour the life of one of our most loved Canberrans, Alan Jessop OAM, who passed away on 15 May at the age of 95. Well known in Canberra, Alan collected for the Salvation Army in Civic... - Private Health Insurance (1 speech)
On 14 May, I launched my petition about this government ripping away private health insurance rebates for the over-65s. Since that time, we've had 5,366 Australians sign this petition. These are... - Darwin Medicare Urgent Care Clinic (1 speech)
