Engaged and enthusiastic Year 5 and 6 students at Aldgate Primary School held an impressive mock parliament today, introducing and voting on a bill to ban homework.
These civics and citizenship lessons are so important for our young people and the future of our democracy.
Special thanks to the School's "Prime Minister" Jemima and deputy Hamish. Not surprisingly, the vote went in favour of banning homework!

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month - a month to raise awareness, advocate and put a spotlight on the most lethal women’s cancer in Australia. I recently met Ann, diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 64 and considered lucky to have passed the five-year survival rate. Ovarian cancer is underfunded and under-researched. Women deserve an early detection test to improve outcomes. Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF)

Today marks the 75th anniversary of National Service (1951-1972). More than 280,000 young men were called up for National Service during that time. In 2023, I helped unveil a dedicated monument honouring all those men at the Macclesfield ANZAC Memorial Garden . We thank them all for their service.

Our CFS has worked so hard over the past week fighting the Deep Creek bushfire. The 1,000 aerial operations have been led by Aerotech, a SA company that’s a world leader in bushfire rapid response.
But Aerotech and other companies like it, are waiting on the Federal Government to approve regulations (Civil Aviation Safety Regulations Part 43) to simplify maintenance requirements.
These regulations were put together by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and are supported by industry, but they’ve been sitting on the Federal Transport Minister’s desk since October 2024.
Let’s cut the red tape so Aerotech can get on with the job.

I’ve introduced new legislation to ban the burning or desecration of any of our three official National Flags – the Australian Flag, the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag. There should be a clear line between peaceful protest and acts designed to provoke division and disrespect the communities these flags represent.
