Australia needs change. We need a Government that will put Australians first.
Only the Coalition has the strong team and plan to restore our standards of living and protect our way of life.
My team in the Coalition has solved problems, built businesses, created jobs and grown economies before entering politics, unlike Anthony Albanese. We know what it takes because we’ve lived in the real world, we’ve done it and we want to get this country back where it belongs.
Parents deserve to know their children are safe in childcare.
Right now, too many parents are losing confidence the system is doing enough to prevent perpetrators from slipping through the cracks.
That’s why the Coalition is calling for urgent action — including the establishment of a Childcare Perpetrator Register.
If a person is charged with offences against children in the childcare sector, these details should be communicated.
We have written to the Prime Minister calling for action. The opportunity is there for the Government to put politics aside, take our hand and work with us to strengthen protections for children.
The Government must also deliver on its promise of “banned in one, banned in all” Working With Children Check rules and stop missing its own deadlines.
Every parent deserves to know their child is in a safe place to learn and thrive.
We stand with parents and will continue fighting for stronger protections for children
From Camden Little Athletics to Commonwealth Games gold.
A huge congratulations to Josh Azzopardi and the Australian men’s 4x100m relay team on an incredible gold medal performance.
Josh’s journey began at Camden Little Athletics and Camden Athletics Club. Now, in his second Commonwealth Games, he’s shown what’s possible through hard work, dedication and local community support. @commgamesaus
Thank you to the hardworking Australians who run or work in a small and family business. You’re being treated like an ATM by this Labor Government. We will back you and help you get ahead.
There are a few reports in the media of my views that bigger government hasn’t solved problems—it’s actually made problems worse.
So here’s our not-so-secret plan and where we’d start to get rid of it.
Thank you to all the amazing people and small businesses we’ve met while taking our plan through Central Queensland!
So, how about it, @david_crisafulli? A ‘roll-off’ with @mattjcan and I next time we’re up at Queensland’s ‘best’ ice-cream shop, @radrolledicecream. Loser buys! 🍦
We will scrap net zero and make Australia an energy superpower!
I’m proud of coal. I’m proud of all the resources Australia has been gifted. We need to use more of everything beneath our feet to be an energy independent nation.
