We hear a lot from this government about a future made in Australia. It's a great headline and a great pitch, but I want to ask today: how real is it? Recently I visited a business in Wetherill... - McMahon Electorate: Health (1 speech)
One of the most important issues in last year's election in Western Sydney was health care, and I'm pleased to provide the House and my community with an update on the Albanese government... - Indi Electorate: Energy (1 speech)

I rise today to acknowledge the significant progress being made on the new aquatic centre in Mordialloc, in my electorate of Isaacs. The pool is a major investment in our local community. I'm... - Monash Electorate: Manufacturing (1 speech)
I'm proud to represent the Latrobe Valley in this federal parliament, and it's a privilege I share with the great member for Gippsland, my friend and colleague. We are both passionate about... - Housing (1 speech)

Last week, right across this country, from school halls to sporting clubs and community centres alike, Australians gathered in support of the Cancer Council's Biggest Morning Tea. It was great to... - Veterans, Private Health Insurance (1 speech)
The coalition strongly opposes Labor's decision to impose a $5,000 annual cap on allied health services for our veterans. This is a cost-cutting measure that unfairly targets the men and the... - Bondi Beach: Attack (1 speech)
I've had the honour of hosting two extraordinary young people in my office: Yanky Super, whose family lives in my electorate; and Mendy Liberman, a paramedic who was working the day of the Bondi... - Corrin, Emma, Veterans (1 speech)

Over the course of the last few weeks, I've had the absolute privilege of visiting some small businesses not just in my electorate of Cowan but in other electorates around WA. I want to take this... - IMPACT Gold Coast Youth Summit (1 speech)
It's just unbelievable that they're talking about aspiration on the other side of the House. I'll take that interjection from the minister. I rise proudly today to speak about the IMPACT Gold... - Illawarra Women in Business (1 speech)
I rise today to recognise the 20th anniversary of Illawarra Women in Business. I recently attended their milestone event, which also marked the 18th Illawarra Women in Business awards. These... - Budget (1 speech)
After four years of higher taxes, more debt, fewer homes, weaker borders and falling living standards under Labor, the coalition is putting forward seven policies to restore Australia's standard... - Moreton Electorate: Community Events and Organisations, Kuraby State School (1 speech)
On 16 May, I found myself uncomfortably spinning inside a blue teacup. I was with my daughter, Margaret, and we were at the Sherwood festival. The Sherwood festival is a very, very special... - Fadden Electorate (1 speech)
Today I rise to first give a shout out to the Sanctuary Cove boat show, one of the iconic events on the Gold Coast calendar and one that I'm extremely proud of. The significance of this show to... - Workplace Relations: Qantas (1 speech)

The population of the Parkes electorate gives me more than 216,000 reasons to love this job. Those 216,000-plus people include some of the most unselfish, kind and caring individuals you could... - Schools (2 speeches)
Talent is spread evenly, but opportunity is not. Quite rightly, the parents and teachers in my electorate of Hasluck absolutely expect me to fight for every opportunity that can be extended to...
