Australian students could help fill seasonal farm jobs while reducing their HECS debt.
I’m proposing a national scheme that would provide eligible university and TAFE students with a $500 HECS credit for every full-time week of approved seasonal regional work, in addition to their wages.
A win for students, farmers and regional communities. 🍒🍍🍓🍇🚜

Congratulations to the Lenswood Forest Range CFS . Today marks the beginning of a new era, with the sod turning for a new station that will serve the community for decades to come. The CFS and its volunteers are such a valued part of our emergency services and we are grateful for all they do.

Veterans should never have had to fight this hard to protect access to their healthcare.
The Government has finally scrapped its proposed $5000 cap on DVA-funded allied health treatment – a cap I spoke out against.
Veterans have served our country. They deserve better than being put through the stress and uncertainty of having essential treatment potentially limited by a dollar threshold.
I welcome the Government changing course, but it should never have come to this.

Older Australians shouldn’t have to choose between keeping their private health insurance and everyday essentials.
Cutting the rebate for over 65s risks pushing people out of private cover – adding even more pressure to our already stretched public hospitals.
The Government should reverse its planned cuts and not use older Australians to prop up their budget.

Understanding how our democracy works, how laws are made and how people can have their say helps young people become informed and engaged citizens. That’s why civics education is so important - empowering our students with the knowledge to participate in democracy. Thank you to the fabulous students at Hills Christian Community School for today’s mock parliament which passed a “no homework” law.

Today is National TAFE Day!
TAFE and vocational training play an important role in helping Australians build skills, find meaningful work and strengthen our local communities.
I recently visited TAFE in Mount Barker to learn about their courses on offer.
