I acknowledge the ongoing work of Charlie King and Rob Cross from CatholicCare NT and their NO MORE campaign, which is helping to build safer communities right across the Northern Territory. For... - Waverley Park Homestead Art Gallery (1 speech)

If you incinerate the Christmas ham, it does not matter how neatly you try to carve it; you cannot save it. It belongs in the bin, just like Labor's budget—broken, unpopular and completely... - Housing (1 speech)
Labor believes security starts with a home, and peace of mind starts with health care. We are delivering social and affordable homes—539 homes in Hasluck alone. They're all around precincts... - Taxation (1 speech)
Labor's toxic taxes don't need a tweak, a carve-out or another Canberra fix; they need the axe. You don't fix a bad tax by making it more complicated; you scrap it. Let me tell you about Vince, a... - Health Care (1 speech)

You would have heard us talk a lot about Labor's toxic taxes. The key part of the toxicity of these taxes is the impact that they're having on investment. This should have been known by Labor,... - Medicare (1 speech)
