I move the motion relating to the Baha’i faith in the terms in which it appears on the notice paper. It gives me great pleasure to rise in the chamber today after meeting, out on the parliament lawn, with Iranian Australians and many from the Baha’i faith to speak about what’s going on in Iran […]
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 […]

Well, because this Labor government has not spoken to one small business about its impacts, particularly about industry-wide or patenting bargaining, as it was known during the […]
Mental Health Sitting in the corner Not knowing what is going to come next Will it be my fear? or my concerns? Why is it never my dreams? My happy place? Does it always have to be worried and bad times Something good would be nice for a change Treacherous thoughts running through my head […]
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 […]
