I move that the motion relating to childcare in the terms in which it appears on the notice paper. The coalition has a strong record when it comes to delivering for Australians. During our time in government, we doubled investment in the early childhood education sector to $11 billion in 2022-23, and we also did […]
Over the last couple of months I’ve spoken in great detail about the government’s cheaper child care bill, and my colleagues and I have asked hundreds of questions of this government regarding their plan, and we’re still yet to receive any real answers, even though the bill has now passed through all of its processes […]
I rise to speak on mental health in Australia following the government’s recent budget. Mental health and suicide prevention, of course, are a key focus of the opposition, as it is for me. As shadow minister for youth, I understand the enormity of that challenge. The opposition has a strong track record of investing in […]
HENRY BELOT:
It’s time for our political panel, and joining us today is the Assistant Minister for Trade, Tim Ayres and we also have the Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Education, Angie Bell. Welcome both of you to Capital Hill.

Last week I attended the official launch of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Avenue and Woodland Walk at the beautiful Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens. I visited several times this year, and last time I was honoured to plant the inaugural tree for the woodland walk. I’m proud to say that, even though local […]
The Albanese Government’s Budget last month delivered nothing but disappointment to most Aussie households. Nothing for cost of living, nothing for regional Australia and certainly not much for the Gold Coast.
SALLY ROPE:
Angie Bell is our Federal Member for Moncrieff here, Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Education and Shadow Minister for Youth. Each week around this time we catch up with one of our federal MPs, this morning it is Ms Bell. Hello.
Governments do not create jobs; business and employers do. This is a message for those opposite. This bill delivers the worst possible news that Australian small and medium enterprises could get, on top of the mess this government is making with the Australian economy. Thanks to this government, power prices are not being cut by […]
