Senate debates

- Fuel (1 speech)
Labor has not been upfront with the Australian people. The economy is weak. It was weakening before the Iran crisis, and now we see that fuel supplies are simply not secure. What have we heard... - Parkinson's Disease (1 speech)
I rise to speak about an important event recently held at Parliament House, the launch of Australia's first National Parkinson's Action Plan. This plan represents a real step forward for people... - Middle East (1 speech)
Four weeks ago, Trump and Netanyahu launched a war of aggression against Iran, triggering a global crisis that may take years to recover from. Instead of denouncing this act of madness, Labor... - New South Wales: Ramadan (1 speech)
Last month, I was able to visit the Lakemba Ramadan dinner. It was a great pleasure to be there as Ramadan finished last week with my good friends in the Lakemba branch of the Liberal Party, led... - Artificial Intelligence (1 speech)
The data centre gold rush is on. Australia has around 250 data centres. About 40 of these are in Victoria and there's a pipeline of about $40 billion in investment. The community, however, has... - Middle East (1 speech)
As a senator for the ACT, I never expected to spend so much time here in the chamber speaking about international relations. But here I am again. What's happening overseas has an impact on our... - Fuel (1 speech)

I was shocked but not surprised when I read this morning's Sydney Morning Herald headline: 'Chalmers' razor gang eyes cuts to legal services for DV victims'. It is a disgraceful headline. We are... - Economy (1 speech)
The reason it's so important to get your house in order is that you never know what is just around the corner, and inflation data that was released this week hammered home the point that the RBA... - Fuel (1 speech)
Labor is now holding its second national crisis meeting to deal with the fuel crisis it denied existed for weeks. Yet once again Labor is showing it's too weak, too slow and too out of touch to... - Asylum Seekers (1 speech)
This week, I was so lucky to meet with three refugees from Iran, who have been part of our communities for years as our neighbours, workmates, colleagues and friends. It shocks people to know... - Middle East (1 speech)
In recent weeks, Israel has killed more than 1,100 civilians in Lebanon and displaced more than a million people. They are systematically destroying housing, roads, bridges, water systems and... - Early Childhood Education and Care (2 speeches)
