Should parents be given payments for childcare directly so they have greater choice and flexibility in the type of childcare they use?
Many parents such as nurses, police, hospitality workers and transport drivers work shift work so cannot use formal childcare.
The social media ban is just another form of government overreach
25/11/2024
Overwhelmingly fatiguing!
Hands up those parents who’ve contacted the government about restricting children’s access to social media because they are overwhelmingly fatigued?
Why I oppose the Social Media Minimum Age Bill
22/11/2024
We should strive to protect young Australians from online harm but the proposed measures could have significant privacy and security implications for all users, without addressing the root causes of online bullying or providing a realistic solution to its prevention.
Labor are ramming the social media ban through parliament without scrutiny
21/11/2024
The two major parties are rorting the system. Last week, the minor parties tried to get more time to scrutinise to proposed bills, namely the Safety Online Bill and the Electoral Amendment Act by moving an amendment to the closure dates for these inquiries.
We must hold the establishment to account
19/11/2024
Last year I released a set of policies designed to hold the establishment to account. These are:
Children & social media should remain the responsibility of parents, not the government
18/11/2024
More government overreach.
This week I spoke against the proposed bill to ban 16 year olds from social media.
Senator Rennick releases people first tax policy designed to boost productivity and keep profits onshore
19/09/2024
Senator Gerard Rennick has released the taxation policy for his People First Party, designed to empower the Australian people. He said it will improve Australia’s productivity and stem the erosion of Australia’s tax base.
People First policies will fix the system
10/09/2024
I rise tonight to speak about the key policies introduced by People First party, albeit it’s one person. I think it’s very important to note that it is a party that actually has some key policies that seek to empower hardworking Australians, the individual, and their families.

Gambling destroys lives and families.
09/09/2024
Last week I lent my support to banning gambling advertisements. There is no need to encourage online gambling, especially sports betting at a time when children are watching television.
Implementing these policies will put people first
30/08/2024
Earlier this week I spoke to ADH TV about the policies I would like to see implemented by government.
We need to spend less on frivolous university degrees and more on skills and trades
13/08/2024
How much money is being wasted on unnecessary University degrees?
People with disabilities shouldn’t be seen as a commodity to be traded
08/07/2024
If there is one industry that could give the renewables or pharmaceutical rent seekers a run for their money it would have to be NDIS.
The idea that Private equity can treat people with disabilities as commodities is a joke. Why on earth would the government (Julia Gillard) privatise helping people with disabilities.

Taxpayers fund universities at over $10 billion per year
14/08/2024
Speaking of frivolous degrees, last week a Senate inquiry into Tertiary Education was held Canberra. The Federal government is finally getting around to pulling Universities into line.
Are overseas students meeting the English requirements?
06/08/2024
Me: What standards do you put in place to ensure that foreign students have adequate English skills when they are undertaking studies.
Digital ID is just another step to control your life
05/03/2024
Not only is Digital ID going to be a threat to your privacy, it seems like it’s going to be a dog’s breakfast when it comes to holding authorities to account as to who is responsible for your data.
$1 billion in taxes lost due to university tax exemptions
14/02/2024
In Estimates, after much toing and froing, the ATO claim that Universities make no more $3 billion dollars from foreign students.
Foreign banks tighten grip on Australian agriculture as local banks retreat
20/09/2023
A few weeks back I questioned the CBA on the rise of the foreign bank lending to our agricultural sector and how closing branches in the regions is making it harder for locals to use Australian banks.
Banking industry under fire: Banks sell out the battlers
20/09/2023
Recently the head of the Australian Banking Association Anna Bligh appeared before the RRAT committee in regards to branch closures.
She was unable to answer how much income banks collect in electronic transaction fees. No doubt because it would be embarrassing to admit that shutting down branches actually increases profits for the banks.
