After promising Australian families cheaper child care, Labor’s policy failure has instead delivered higher prices, with out of pocket costs increasing by 12.1 per cent in the last 12 months.
The Albanese Labor Government continues to unleash their unrelenting wrath on small business and it is disgraceful. Australians rely heavily on small, and family owned and operated businesses in our everyday lives – be it your child care operator, sporting coach, dog groomer, GP, local accountant or your favourite café owner, winemaker or brewer.
GREG JENNETT:
Time to bring in our political panel now. From Melbourne Assistant Minister Kate Thwaites is with us once again. Good to see you, Kate. And from the Gold Coast Coalition frontbencher, Angie Bell, welcome to you to Angie, both familiar to the program, but a slightly new combo. I think we’re trying here today.
It’s always a privilege to talk in the chamber about aged care, our older Australians and the care that they are given. Of course, I have many, many providers in my electorate of Moncrieff on the Gold Coast, and I do enjoy regularly visiting those residential care homes. I always look forward to chatting with […]
The Prime Minister was the last one to speak to this bill, and I would like to address his remarks before I move on to mine. I want to reject his declaration of 10 years of neglect under the coalition in the early childhood education and care portfolio. I’d just remind Australians that he […]
During Youth Voice in Parliament Week, I committed to reading a speech written by a young person, to give her a voice in this place and to amplify her view. Today I will be sharing the words of Libby, who wants to see Australians have accessible, affordable and high-quality mental health support. We know that […]
The Coalition will strongly oppose Labor’s new Misinformation Bill, which Federal Member for Moncrieff, Angie Bell, described as an attack on free speech. When the Government released its first Misinformation Bill last year, more than 20,000 people put in submissions and comments opposing it, and so it was withdrawn in disgrace.
Australia’s housing challenges under the Albanese Government’s watch are very real. Labor continues to fail on housing policies that have not made a difference to Gold Coast families and as a result, the crisis is only going to worsen. They don’t have the economic prowess nor the ideas to address the nation’s housing crisis and the simple fact that there are just not enough homes.
Volunteers have a strong presence throughout the Gold Coast community; they are the glue that holds everything together. There are many members across the House who have spoken this week about their local volunteer awards and what they do to celebrate their contributions across our nation. Volunteers in Moncrieff help out with local sporting teams, […]
On the Gold Coast, we look after our own, and my community’s generosity seems to be limitless. We have around 12 fundraising balls a year through the winter on the Gold Coast. I’ve actually lost count of how many, and I’m just estimating based on how many I attend. But we have some stellar citizens […]
