Students skipping meals, accumulating debts, and sleeping in their cars because of unpaid mandatory placements. I’m pleased to stand alongside hardworking medical and allied heath students to expand the paid prac scheme to include the next generation of healthcare workers our communities need.

I welcome the joint WA Police, AFP and ASIO investigation into the shocking incident targeting the Invasion Day rally in Perth on 26 January. It is vital First Nations peoples and those who stand with them can express their views free from fear or violence. #auspol

Grok’s ’spicy mode’ is being used to make child sexual abuse material. The Aust govt is not addressing this, or my AI/CSAM bill, which would be an important step forward to keep our kids safe. #auspol www.afr.com/technology/m...

I support Australia’s recognition of Palestinian statehood as part of a two-state solution. There are challenges ahead & Hamas must play no ongoing role. Like so many in Curtin, I call for a ceasefire, upholding international law, releasing hostages & distribution of aid. #auspol

Is there any good argument for allowing Australians to possess or distribute custom built AI tools to create child sex abuse material? There are 34 of these tools - we must follow the UK and make it an offence to possess or distribute them. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Frank & fearless advice from Treasury is good news. The need for tax reform is no surprise- we are happy to talk about tax cuts, but the money must come from somewhere. We won’t meet the housing target - govt must focus on how to get there. #auspol t.co/7zR6tXRQ6L

If 3/4 of AFL agents say gambling is a problem for their players, what hope do our kids have, who look up to them? Banning gambling ads would be a great first step to challenge the normalisation of gambling in sport. Now is the time. #auspol

The major parties agree on ~99% of the forward estimates. The only difference between them is the flavour of their sugar hits. Mr Dutton could be bold on tax reform, but instead we get $6b in debt-funded fuel excise cuts. We must drag the parties to tax reform. #auspol

Being granted $5/week next year for the extra tax you’re paying is better than nothing, but if we indexed tax brackets (like other countries) your average tax rate wouldn’t go up every year. Let’s fix it for good. Neither major party wants to do it, but it makes sense. #auspol youtu.be/R17ddarTBB0

The govt and the opposition just got together to vote for mandatory minimum sentencing for hate crimes. Hate crimes need serious consequences but courts should decide sentences, based on all the circumstances. It’s called separation of powers. #auspol
