The Albanese Labor Government has been caught out in Senate Estimates after officials confirmed young Australians were not formally consulted on Labor’s controversial tax changes before they were announced. Despite repeatedly claiming its policies are about “intergenerational equity” and helping young people, Labor did not seek advice from the Office for Youth, nor receive […]
Today in question time the Minister for Sport was given the opportunity to explain how the
Budget impacts grass roots sporting clubs but was deliberately blocked from answering
because she was unable to explain the Government’s own policy.
Young Australians deserve leaders who believe in them.
Recent comments from Pauline Hanson claiming young people “don’t want to work” and are “tired by early afternoon” do not reflect the reality facing many young Australians.
The Albanese Labor Government has dealt a $182 million blow to grassroots sport.
Rhonda Sharratt:
Angie Bell MP, good morning.
Angie Bell MP:
Good to be with you.
Angie Bell MP:
I’m very proud of it. This is the largest IMPACT ever with 220 young people here today and tomorrow. And I am sure next year will be bigger and better again.
Young people aged between 15 and 24 on the Gold Coast to be Impactors in our community. To have new opportunities to meet others, to expand their outlook and skills, and use those skills into the future.
Today I recognise the extraordinary work of the Women’s Legal Service Queensland and wish to commend their powerful community initiative known as the Epic Walk for domestic and family violence. The Epic Walk brings Queenslanders together to walk five kilometres from North Burleigh Surf Club in my electorate to Burleigh Headland in the member for Macpherson’s electorate and back, standing in solidarity with women experiencing domestic and family violence and raising vital support for the free legal services WLSQ provides.
I rise to pay tribute to Their Majesties King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark on their recent state visit to Australia. Thank you to the Member for Cunningham, Alison Byrnes as Co‑Chair of the Parliamentary Friendship Group for Denmark and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, members and senators- for attending the event held in their Majesties honour at Parliament House on Monday March 16th. Her Excellency Ingrid Dahl-Madsen for her great deal of work on Denmark-Australia relations and the state visit.
Australians have been under enormous pressure every time they pull up to the bowser, and, after months of delay, the Prime Minister has finally acted to halve the fuel tax. But—let’s be clear—this announcement, while welcome, has come far too late and has only done half the job, because cutting the tax means very little if Australians can’t access affordable fuel in the first place. Right now, the real concern is supply. Families, tradies and small businesses don’t just need cheaper fuel; they need certainty that, when they turn up to the servo, the fuel will actually be there. This is where the government is still falling short.
