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 […]
Tonight, the Treasurer will stand at this dispatch box and deliver what he claims is a cost-of-living budget—a budget that he says will deliver cost-of-living relief for Australians who need it most. The thing is we’ve heard that before from this government. We heard it when they promised a $275 reduction to your power bill, […]
What a week! A week full of more broken promises from this Albanese government. In the last seven days we’ve witnessed disgraceful behaviour from some of those opposite in this chamber and against coalition women. The Prime Minister promised a more respectful workplace, and yet in less than 12 months his government’s behaviour has been […]
Firstly, I would like to acknowledge my counterpart, Minister for Youth, Anne Aly, and the work that she is doing in the youth space. She has a real passion for young people and we do agree on wanting a brighter future for all young people across our country. I also acknowledge the young people up […]
I believe in the youth of our nation. They represent the future and they deserve our attention, our guidance and our support. As the shadow minister for youth, I want to deliver real and meaningful choice and opportunities for younger Australians. As a young person, I had an opportunity that transformed my life through Rotary […]
I was honoured to attend the Surf Life Saving Queensland aviation awards in Carrara, where I presented the national medals to Paul Gibson, David O’Brien and Kurt Brumley. The national medal is Australia’s most awarded civilian medal. It recognises long and diligent service by members of recognised government and voluntary organisations who risk their lives […]
Wow! Mr Deputy Speaker, have you ever known a government more full of itself than this Albanese one? Labor love to talk. They love the big talk and to talk about how great they are. I’m sure they’ve have all given themselves a slap on the back. ‘What a great 10 months it’s been under […]
I’ve been very busy visiting local schools to present the 2023 school leaders certificates and to engage on the topic of leadership. Thanks to Mr Cross and the student leaders from Miami State High School for inviting me to your investiture ceremony. It was a proud moment for all of you to be presented with […]
Earlier this month my good friend and colleague the member for Forrest and I held a roundtable with early childhood educators in Bunbury in the great state of Western Australia. We metaround 20 educators from for-profit, not-for-profit and community services, and we discussed their concerns, their ideas and their experiences. Many of the educators told […]
Suicide continues to be the leading cause of death for young Australians. Last year, 402 young Australian lives were lost to suicide. Half of all the mental health conditions we experience at some point in our lives will have started by age 14, and over 75 per cent of mental health problems occur before the […]
