I reject the comments from the member for Hawke and also his imputations about the coalition. I want to look at the sad story of this government’s record when it comes to failing to keep Australians safe and failing dismally to manage the economy, the two things that right now actually matter most to Australians, […]
The member for Cooper stood at the dispatch box and delivered a speech where she declared that the government is the party of working people. We on this side say that the government is the party of working poor people. Under this government, Australians feel poorer simply because they are. Prices are up by 10 […]
I think some of those comments from the member for Fenner are, quite frankly, laughable. Let’s look at who it was that said, ‘It’s time for the corruption and criminality to come to an end.’ The admission is from the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, when he leaned into his apparent watershed moment and […]
What a historic haul for our Aussies in Paris with 18 gold medals, 19 silver and 16 bronze. Our congratulations go to the athletes who delivered our greatest Olympic Games in history.

Labor has wasted four months by failing to act on key Senate inquiry recommendations into Red imported fire ants in Australia – ‘don’t let this come back to bite us’. By not acting, the Albanese Government has allowed the eradication zone to explode in size, further north into Burpengary East, west into Mount Sylvia, south into Tallebudgera Valley, as well as outlier areas, as far as Oakey near Toowoomba and Currimundi near Caloundra Airport.
It was an honour to attend a Vietnam Veterans’ Day memorial service at Nerang in my electorate. I extend my respects to all those who attended the Nerang RSL service and acknowledge the service and sacrifices made by veterans of the 10-year Vietnam conflict. On Long Tan Day, we honour those who served in the […]
It’s been more than two years of this Albanese Labor government, and Australian families have never been worse off. Under Labor, prices have increased by more than 10 per cent— Mr ALBANESE: Never! Ms BELL: including—ever!—for our most basic needs. Groceries are up 10 per cent. I’ll take that interjection from the Prime Minister. He […]
For the last 2 and a half years I’ve had the great honour to serve as the Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Education. During that time, I’ve spent a lot of time travelling the country, speaking with educators, with children and with parents, oftentimes with children sitting on their knees when we meet. I’ve visited […]
The Gold Coast’s sister city relationships and international partnerships are a source of economic growth and provide cultural, educational, and professional opportunities, and boost our international profile. These relationships assist to open our door to the world and create real outcomes for Gold Coast residents and businesses. We are a community that has been a safe and respectful place for all who come here, from all faiths and backgrounds.
The Pacific Airshow is back on the Gold Coast this weekend, after an immensely successful sellout in its inaugural year last year. It’s held over three days. The rain, I know, is going to stop and the sun will come out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday all day so that we can be treated to […]
