Fixing our roads, building critical infrastructure to support more new homes and providing childcare, aged care, disability and local health services are all so important to people in Indi – that’s why this committee’s work is important.

People are likely to be shaking their heads into their supermarket trollies at this news, but at the same time are probably not really surprised.

I warmly congratulate Tony Mahar in his new role as the new Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner.

This is a problem of the government’s making and something they need to step in and fix it.

I want to see more transparency around this process.

It is clear that governments need to do more to make the health and wellbeing of our defence personnel an active and long-term priority, not just during their service, but also when they transition to civilian life and beyond.

They aren’t opportunists; they’re organised criminal groups that make use of any and all technologies to steal money from Australians at every age, from every demographic. It is despicable stuff.

Will the minister stand by while vital childcare services close due to a lack of government funding?

We are at a moment in our democracy that the people of Australia have been waiting a long time for—that is, to take responsibility for our actions.

With one voice, we recognise that we must do better—that we must meet the standards the public holds us to and that we hold ourselves to.
