As a senator for Tasmania, I have the great privilege of being able to work across my home state, especially across the north-west of Tasmania, and getting to meet with community members,... - Health Care, Budget (1 speech)
There is a question many Canberrans ask, and that is: why in the national capital, a city of half a million people and a region of 1.2 million people, can't we look after young Canberrans and... - Budget (13 speeches)
