24.01.2022 I was proud to be Shepparton Foodshare's monthly partner during September, when almost 36,000kgs of food, or 72,000 meals, were distributed to those most in need. I encourage anyone who can to donate food staples. All the details can be found here: https://bit.ly/3lXGN08 #improud

23.01.2022 Victorians have done it tough the last few months - not allowed to leave their homes, kept away from family and friends. The Nationals want the governm...ent to implement our Eat Out for Victoria idea which would subsidise 50 per cent of the bill (to a maximum of $20 per person) for a period of four weeks. It’ll be a shot in the arm for hospitality venues across Victoria and the jobs they provide. This would also make it easier and more affordable for Victorians to reunite with friends and family, after spending so long apart. Victoria has always been the foodie capital - so let’s support our local publicans, café owners and restaurateurs. This initiative would inject a much needed boost into the hospitality industry - helping small businesses which have been forgotten by Daniel Andrews. Only the Liberals and Nationals have a positive economic recovery plan to get Victoria back to work.

20.01.2022 I'm proud to be part of this Liberal-National Government, which is fulfilling its promise of delivering nation-building infrastructure projects, particularly in... regional areas. A prime example in Nicholls is the $323 million Echuca-Moama bridge project, while I lobbied hard to get $208 million for Stage 1 of the Shepparton bypass. The Victorian Labor Government must release its bypass business case so we can get moving with this important project. I spoke in Parliament yesterday about these projects, and more. #ImProud #regionsmatter See more

04.01.2022 The Andrews Labor Government’s second wave and harsh lockdowns has meant hundreds of thousands of Victorians have lost their jobs or seen reduced wages. But the... cost of living continues to rise and many Victorian families are suffering. That’s why our positive plan to get Victoria Back to Work is calling on the State Government to financially assist Victorian families who’ve been hit hard this year, by freezing a raft of household fees and charges. For commuters, freezing all metropolitan and V/Line public transport fares and toll road charges to 30 June 2022 would help with the cost of living. The State Government could help young Victorians next year with free public transport for school and uni students and half-price registration for all P-plate drivers in 2021. For households, we are calling for a freeze on council rates, water and sewerage charges until mid-2022. By reducing the cost of living, Victorian families will have more money in their pockets meaning they have more to spend with local businesses. Financially secure families will help get Victoria #BackToWork.
