The Albanese Labor Government recently announced the Peri-Urban Mobile Program Round 2, which provides $20 million for solutions to improve mobile connectivity in areas that experience heightened natural disaster risks due to neighbouring bushland.  Unfortunately, Bonnet Bay has been excluded from this program.

Thank you to Chris O’Keefe and the Drive team for having me on the program today to discuss the very important issue of Heathcote Road in my electorate of Hughes.

From standstill traffic during peak hours, horrific crashes and the tragic loss of life, the proceedings to duplicate Heathcote Road in full, that I went to the election with, must be addressed by the Albanese Labor Government who under Transport Minister Catherine King have completely ignored any future funding for development.

We must look at what Labor does, not what it says or what it promises. Hear my chat with Chris on 2GB Drive here.

Nominate your school in Hughes to receive one of two fully paid $500 sponsorship programs for the Fathering Project.

I spoke on the upcoming Voice to Parliament referendum

As the representative of the Hughes Electorate in the Federal Parliament, the collective views of my community are the most important driver of my role in Canberra.

I intend to consult widely within my electorate before I finalise my position and vote when we return to Parliament.

I spoke on Sky News with Andrew Clennel about the AUKUS agreement and the importance of a bi-partisan approach.

As the Federal Member for Hughes, I am delighted to be participating in the Stronger Communities Programme Round 8 (Programme). This Programme provides support to deliver social benefits in our community by funding small capital projects in our electorate.

I spoke on Capital Hill about the Government’s censure motion, the National Anti-Corruption Commission and the proposed Voice legislation with host Jane Norman and Labor MP Meryl Swanson.

It was an Honour to present Terry and members of his family that served Australia during war with Certificates of Appreciation. During COVID, Terry’s brother Tony, was doing research on his family tree, which lead him to find more history on his family and their overseas service.

Housing is critical to meeting the basic needs of our society. It should provide safety, security, privacy, a place to sleep, eat, raise a family and when necessary, to escape from the world.

Pathology is the engine room of healthcare, central to medical detection, prevention, treatment, and management. We all know alot more about pathology services following the recent pandemic.

18 October 2022 marked 15 Years of operation for ANSTO’s Open Pool Australian Lightwater reactor (OPAL).  

ANSTO is leading the way in nuclear technology research, especially in the health industry. It is also the home to the only multi-purpose reactor in Australia, right here in Hughes.

It was great to meet the team at Sutherland Communications Rural Fire Brigade. Thank you to the volunteers at the Brigade, as well as the other emergency services members.

It was great to be joined by Simon Birmingham, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and visit St Thomas Indian Orthodox Cathedral in Moorebank. We were welcomed by Father Thomas and members of the congregation from St. Thomas Indian Orthodox Cathedral Sydney.

It was a privilege to meet with Sam, John and the team from Moxon at Moorebank this week.
