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.

The news of a suspected murder-suicide in Mosman Park is shocking and devastating for our community.

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

If this is what it takes to get rid of the gambling ads, let's talk about it. #gamblingreform #auspol

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

Before committing to any increase in defence spending, we need to make sure we are spending on the right things. The world is changing and we need to review whether AUKUS is our best bet. #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

Energy plan? What energy plan? Peter Dutton wants to override scrutiny on major projects, reverse the support we need to build our future energy sector and waste billions of taxpayer dollars on his nuclear fantasy. #auspol

We’ve always had cyclones, but climate change is making them worse. We hear today that Cyclone Alfred cost us $1.2bn - mitigation and adaptation makes economic sense. This is not an issue that’s going away. #auspol

Coal Australia: ‘The nation cannot afford a minority government propped up by a crossbench of vested interests’ Gambling lobby agrees. So more $ from them to major parties. #shameless #comedy #auspol

About time! There’s so much opportunity for WA to prosper in a decarbonising world and production tax credits will kickstart and derisk our transition. After much prompting, we now have the legislation passed. Now we just need to implement it. Let’s go WA. #auspol

Having worked in the sector and heard stories from constituents, I know how desperately we need more frontline FDV services. Glad to see WA getting much-needed funding and committing to match it.

Sometimes you just have to giggle. What do you think made me a radical extreme communist? Working as a corporate lawyer? Advising Australia’s biggest companies at BCG? A strategic role at Australia’s then biggest employer, Wesfarmers? The actual radical extreme communists must be horrified! #auspol

While the transparency part is long overdue, replacing political donors with taxpayer $ locks in the 2 party system. The ALP and LIB ‘electoral reform’ deal needs proper scrutiny- rushing it through threatens future political competition. #auspol #electoralreform
