Australian communities deserve to be protected from the hazards associated with the use of chemicals of an industrial nature

If we really want to create jobs in regional communities, we should be creating more affordable housing, investing in transport, investing in childcare, and investing in skills.

I invited the Deputy Prime Minister to visit in North East to raise serious community concerns about the progress of the Better Rail project in Wangaratta, Glenrowan, Benalla, and Euroa

North East Victoria is ready to meet the post-COVID domestic tourism boom, but we need safe and reliable roads. Roads to Recovery, the Black Spot Program and the Bridges Safety Renewal program are important. But more is needed.

The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 excludes statutory appointees like MPs and judges from being protected from, or liable for, sexual harassment. We need change to restore the respect and trust Australians have lost in this government and Parliament.

I assess each and every bill on its merits, putting the views of the community first. If any of these bills impact you, and you’d like to let me know your views, please email me or telephone my office.

I encourage everyone to explore the Indigenous Voice process and make a submission so, as a country, we can bring these Voices to the heart of our decision-making.
