16.01.2022 The Prime Minister on the MUA: They’re not picking a fight with the employers, they're picking a fight with farmers, they're picking a fight with people who'll need medicines, they're picking a fight with Australians whose jobs depend on what comes through those ports, and that's what's critically important right now.

13.01.2022 #LIVE: Transforming Australian manufacturing to rebuild our economy

13.01.2022 October is National Safe Work Month a time to build awareness of work health and safety, encourage discussion about safety at work and share best practice. A safe and healthy workplace is for everyone. Individuals, their families and the broader community are all impacted by work-related injury and illness. Whatever the work environment, and particularly as we face the challenges of COVID-19, good work health and safety practices and risk management are more important than ever.

11.01.2022 #LIVE: Digital Business Plan to drive Australia's economic recovery

11.01.2022 Today, your Liberal team, with a new generation of WA Liberal leadership in Zak Kirkup MP and Libby Mettam, demonstrated that this election is all about you. To...gether, your Liberal team is working for a safer, smarter today, so Western Australians have a brighter and better tomorrow. That means working constructively and following the advice of the Chief Health Officer to keep Western Australians safe from COVID-19. A future Liberal government will continue to follow the Chief Health Officer's advice and we will also make it open and transparent because we think Western Australians are mature enough and deserve to see this advice. This pandemic is not a political fight, there is only us together against the virus. But we know safety isn’t just about COVID, we need to do more to make people feel safer at home, in their communities and in their jobs. More police, tougher laws and fixing the hospital ambulance ramping crisis are a key part of our plan. We also need to make sure our seniors feel safer in their retirement, because they have already made such a significant contribution to our society and we respect that. Cutting taxes and reducing the cost of household bills will help families feel more financially safe and secure, giving them the confidence to invest to get ahead. Young people should feel empowered by the safety of a hand-up to help them get trained and into their first job, giving them the best possible start to their careers. Mums and dads who have left the workforce to raise their children and help their families get ahead should have the financial safety of knowing there are the opportunities to re-skill and up-skill to find rewarding jobs. We are 100% focused on the issues you have been talking to our team about, because that’s what matters. Together, your Liberal team will be working every minute between now and the election, in every seat, to deliver Western Australians a safer and smarter today, so we can all enjoy a brighter and better tomorrow.
