Shana Tova to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah!
As we mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, we remember the almost 3,000 people killed including the 10 Australians, we think of their families, and we face the fact that Islamist extremism remains a significant threat.
My commitment to Australians is to keep out, and root out Islamist extremism.
We will protect our way of life.
Birth, life and death taxes. There’s nothing this Treasurer won’t tax.
Today we uncovered Labor’s latest tax trap: adding a newborn to a trust structure could trigger a 47% tax on its entire income.
That’s big for small and family businesses.
Each one of Labor’s new taxes is toxic — and we’ll scrap the lot.
They served our country but Labor is capping their healthcare. Our veterans deserve better. We’ll scrap the cap.
Congratulations to Narelle Zanker on being named Agrifuture’s 2026 Rural Woman of the Year!
Narelle has combined her two passions – farming and education – to create Dairy Adventures, opening up her family’s working dairy farm near Mannum and giving thousands of Australians the chance to see where their food comes from.
From bottle-feeding calves to learning about dairy farming, animal care and food production, Narelle is doing an incredible job of bringing the city and country closer together.
It’s a fantastic recognition of an inspiring South Australian, a brilliant family business and the women who are helping shape the future of Australian agriculture.
A Labor Premier is now telling the Prime Minister that his tobacco tax isn’t working. If Chris Minns gets it, why doesn’t the Prime Minister?
Protect our children. Smash the gangs. Take back control.
We need to take back control from the gangs and protect our children.
Being proud of Australia and protecting our way of life means standing up for the symbols that unite us.
We’ll protect Australia Day, defend our national flag and crack down on the vandalism and desecration of our war memorials.
