- South Australian Under-12 Girls Australian Football Team (1 speech)

Australian science gave the world spray-on skin, the first mechanical grain harvester, the black box flight recorder and the HPV vaccine that's eliminating cervical cancer. That's what Australian... - Housing (1 speech)

I will never miss an opportunity to recognise the incredible work of CFA volunteers across Holt. Victoria began this year facing the devastating Longwood and Harcourt bushfires. Dozens of... - Great Western Highway (1 speech)
