In the lead-up to the last election, those opposite, Labor, promised Australians that life would be cheaper under them. I ask Australians: do you remember that? Labor promised cheaper mortgages, cheaper electricity and cheaper child care. All of those have been broken promises, because all we’ve seen in the last 12 months is the cost […]
The countdown is on for families looking to access early childhood education, with the Government today admitting they don’t know how many families will actually be better off come July 1.
As a constructive opposition, we’ve always said that we will assess each of the Albanese government’s proposals on its merits. The Family Assistance Legislation Amendment (Child Care Subsidy) Bill 2023 seeks to amend the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) (Administration) Act 1999 to correct administrative errors regarding the way overpayments of the childcare subsidy […]
Last week I had the great pleasure of visiting St Hilda’s, a beautiful school in Southport in my electorate, and I received the warmest welcome ever. I was very impressed by the impeccable manners of all 91 girls, who shook my hand when they entered the room. Special thanks to Mrs B for organising this […]

However, many concerns have been raised with me in […]
I move a motion relating to superannuation tax on the terms in which it appears in the notice paper. Well Labor have never met a tax they didn’t like. In fact, in 12 months the Albanese government has riddled two budgets full of new taxes and broken promises. The last election we warned Australians—we warned […]
SUSSAN LEY:
Well, good afternoon. When the aspirations and enterprise of Australian women are supported, all Australians benefit. That was the theme behind the Women’s Economic Security Roundtable that I held this morning.
Labor has a trick of delivering their bad news to you ahead of time as a prophecy of what lies ahead, then blaming anything else including the former government for their terrible outcomes.
SARAH CUMMING:
As we heard in the news, the Opposition Leader used last night’s Budget Reply speech to lay the blame for any future increase to interest rates at the feet of the Albanese Government. Peter Dutton argued the government’s budget will fuel inflation and make cost of living pressures worse for millions of Australians. He said the budget risks creating a generation of working poor Australians.
