A wonderful evening in Brisbane celebrating Diwali with the Federation of Indian Communities Queensland.

The Festival of Lights reminds us that even the smallest light can chase away the deepest darkness. It is a message of hope, unity and renewal that speaks to all Australians.

Terrific to be joined by @senator_scarr, @leonrebellomp and so many friends from Queensland’s vibrant Indian community.

The Liberal Party has always believed in aspiration, enterprise and community. Diwali is a reminder of how those values shine brightest when we come together.

Shubh Diwali!

Australians care deeply about our environment — and we have to protect it while keeping jobs and investment here at home.

Labor’s new environment laws fail that test. They risk being a gift to our overseas competitors, a handbrake on investment and a red light to jobs.

At Sea World on the Gold Coast today with @angiebell.mp, we saw the important work that goes into protecting and rehabilitating marine life. Australians expect practical environmental protection that delivers real results, not more red tape.

The Coalition will fight for an approvals system that is clear, consistent and fast. We will always back Australians who want to invest, build and work here at home.

The students at Merrimac State High School brought great energy and sharp questions on the big issues that matter to young Australians.

These young Australians are already showing what leadership looks like; engaged, curious and determined to make a difference.

It was a pleasure to join local Moncrieff MP @angiebell.mp and meet the impressive student leaders at Merrimac State High School and hear their ideas for the future.

Labor’s housing crisis is shutting out a generation. Costs are up, approvals are down, and support for apprentices is running out.

Builders are buried in red tape while productivity stalls.

The Coalition will cut the red tape, back our tradies, apprentices and small businesses, and deliver real tax relief to help Australians buy their own home.

Because when you work hard, you deserve to keep more of what you earn.

Under my leadership the Coalition is guided by our belief in freedom, choice, aspiration and enterprise.

Under our plan, we will make government smaller by getting out of the way so Australian businesses can get ahead.

In Kurnell today at @modularwalls, we saw the potential of Australian enterprise. That potential will only be realised when government cuts red tape, reward effort and give businesses the freedom to grow.

We will also deliver lower personal income taxes so Australians have more money in their pockets to spend in local businesses.

Dicker Data is a true Australian success story. Locally owned, creating hundreds of jobs, and helping businesses across the country harness new technology to grow.

Today I met with their team to hear firsthand about the challenges facing Australian businesses and the opportunities ahead.

Our plan is simple: get the fundamentals right. That means lower personal income taxes, intergenerational fairness, higher living standards, less red tape, and stronger workplaces.

Because when government backs aspiration and enterprise, businesses like Dicker Data can keep investing, employing, and growing right here in Australia.

Small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities, creating jobs and driving productivity.

In Paddington today, we heard what owners are saying right across Australia: costs are climbing, red tape is increasing, and it’s getting harder to keep the doors open.

Yesterday I announced our clear economic priorities: lower personal income taxes, intergenerational fairness, better living standards, less red tape and fairer workplaces.

Our personal income tax cuts won’t just help workers, they will help small businesses too — because when there’s more money in people’s pockets, more money is spent locally.
