Do you support a constitutional convention to look at removing the ambiguous responsibilities between state and federal governments and eliminating the vertical fiscal imbalance?
Some of Australia's departments such as Health are managed by both Federal and State Governments. This has enabled the bureaucracy to grow exponentially.

Property rights & religious freedom under threat in hospital takeover
13/09/2023
In the last sitting week, Labor and the Greens voted down a bill that would inquire into the takeover by the ACT government of Calvary hospital.
This was an outrageous attack on property rights by a government that wasn’t even established at Federation.
The Native Title Act needs review
11/09/2023
I have supported a motion to hold an inquiry into the Native Title Act with a view to ending it. Australia needs to put a line under the past and move on.

Labor are out of control. They need to lower immigration as they are importing a homelessness crisis.
Why is the government letting Pfizer shift their profits offshore?
07/09/2023
Earlier this week I spoke in the chamber about Pfizer shifting their profits offshore rather than pay tax here in Australia.
Should Albo be referred to the National Anti-Corruption Commission over Qantas?
06/09/2023
Why is Alan Joyce still getting a $10 million bonus in light of taking bookings for flights already cancelled and trying to cancel $500 million in flight credits as a result of cancelled bookings from Covid.

Foreign banks tighten grip on Australian agriculture as local banks retreat

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.
Giving people warning of a bank branch closure isn’t upholding a social license

Whether you give 5 minutes notice or 5 years notice, Banks have an obligation under their social licence to keep branches open in the regions.
