25.01.2022 The Royal Commission’s special report on COVID-19 confirms the Morrison Government had no plan for COVID-19 in aged care. The result of the Morrison Government’s catastrophic failure is a national tragedy.

24.01.2022 Despite producing a grab-bag of headline-seeking announcements, the Government expects another 160,000 Australians to be added to the jobless queues by Christmas. Scott Morrison is leaving Australia with one trillion dollars of debt and too many Australians without a job.

24.01.2022 Victoria has recorded nine new cases of coronavirus and no deaths in the last 24 hours.

24.01.2022 China should pull down its incredibly offensive tweet that was posted from an offical Chinese Government account - they should apologise, this is unacceptable.

23.01.2022 Scott Morrison has been briefed three times by his hand-picked advisor Jane Halton on how we can safely boost quarantine capacity to bring more stranded Australians home. Instead of showing leadership on this the Prime Minister has been deliberately misleading about the numbers and continues to pass the buck on quarantine to the states.

23.01.2022 Creating jobs should be the Morrison Government’s biggest priority right now. The test for today's budget will be whether there is a plan at all.

23.01.2022 He cut support for workers, then thousands lost their jobs. Everyone knew this would happen but Scott Morrison just didn't care.

22.01.2022 We need to get Australia back on track - Supporting Australian jobs and buying Australian made is more important than ever.

22.01.2022 Scott Morrison made every state go it alone to defeat the virus. Now he's making them go it alone in their recovery too.

21.01.2022 This is Annie! She’s one of the 14 koalas that where rescued after being burnt during last summer’s bushfires. After many surgeries and lots of love and care from Zoos Victoria she was released back into the wild. Annie calls the bush land around Mallacoota in Eastern Victoria home now.

20.01.2022 It’s confirmed - the Morrison Government had no plan for COVID-19 in aged care. The foundations of our country’s aged care system have buckled under the pressure of a deadly disease and the Morrison Government did not do enough to stop it.

20.01.2022 We need this capability here at home - Why has the Morrison government rejected this key Bushfire Royal Commission recommendation?

19.01.2022 Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Crews have been battling this blaze on the island off south-east Queensland for more than six weeks. It's not even December yet.

18.01.2022 Buying Australian-made products creates jobs for Australians. This will be even more important as we emerge from the coronavirus crisis because it will help our businesses and employees get back to work.

18.01.2022 It's still November and we currently have 60 fires burning across NSW and major fires in QLD - If you needed a reminder to get prepared for the fire season, this is it.

17.01.2022 Australia needs leaders with a plan for the future. Last night Scott Morrison and Josh Frydenberg failed that test.

16.01.2022 The weekends arrived hope everyone is getting out amongst it. Our Aussie made produce is the best in the world - snap it up while the suns out.

16.01.2022 We never need another press conference from this Prime Minister. We need action - this governments record when it comes to caring for our elderly is nothing short of atrocious.

16.01.2022 Happy 35th birthday Science and Technology Australia

16.01.2022 Make no mistake, Victorians made this happen - 28 consecutive days of 0 new cases reported. Amazing work.

16.01.2022 A huge day for the country, such a great effort by Victorians, Queenslanders, Tasmanians and New South Welshmen - South Australia will also reopen its borders with Victoria today.

15.01.2022 No ifs. No buts.

13.01.2022 When asked what the government had delivered for women - Believe it or not this was the best Scott Morrison’s Minister for Social Services could come up with. This governments done nothing for the women of Australia.

13.01.2022 Scott Morrison’s premature cuts to JobKeeper and JobSeeker could push many Australians back into poverty, risk more jobs and business closures and jeopardise the recovery. In this worst recession in almost 100 years, we can’t afford to see more Australians and communities like these left out and left behind.

13.01.2022 Amazing effort - In case you missed it NASA has successfully landed the Perseverance Mars Rover today. It was a nail biting couple of minutes (A 7 minute delay in communication between Earth and Mars) but NASA’s rover arrived safely on the surface. This is the fifth rover NASA has successfully landed on Mars since 1997.... Congratulations to all the engineers, scientists and big thinkers involved - A little perseverance can go a long way

12.01.2022 Today was about standing up for Australian veteran families. The Labor Caucus has decided to oppose the Government’s National Commissioner for Defence and Veteran Suicide Prevention legislation in the Senate. We cannot ignore the pleas of veteran families for a Royal Commission into this terrible scourge the pleas of mothers like Julie-Ann Finney whose sons have tragically taken their own lives. ... Labor has listened to those families who have tragically been impacted by this and we have listened to Julie-Ann Finney and we owe it to her and those families to get this right. One suicide is too many. Families and mothers like Julie-Ann who spoke at today’s press conference with raw passion and righteous strength they want a Royal Commission because it will get to the bottom of this. We owe it to them.

11.01.2022 Ordinary Seaman Teddy Sheean was anything but ordinary. He was an Australian hero. And finally today he has received the Victoria Cross he so richly deserves, Teddy’s family and supporters have been fighting for this decision for a decade.... Today’s honour will be proud moment for them - and a great relief.

10.01.2022 Victoria has recorded 15 new coronavirus infections and one more death overnight.

10.01.2022 We all saw what happened during last year’s bushfire crisis when Australia was left unprepared. Why don’t we have a national aerial firefighting fleet yet? Your own taxpayer funded Royal Commission says we need one - Scott Morrison, get a move on.

10.01.2022 FRIDAY AFTERNOON POLL: All Australians know that during this pandemic our leaders shouldn’t be playing politics - But that didn’t stop Scott Morrison. What made you most disappointed, his QLD or WA political point scoring?

10.01.2022 Australia - I present to you Scott Morrison and his government’s priorities.

10.01.2022 It's never Scott Morrison’s job. Unless it’s a media announcement, he likes those.

09.01.2022 Right when Victorians need support the most, they're feeling punished by the Morrison Government.

08.01.2022 How are we still here? Scott Morrison has to stop blaming everyone and start doing his job - our frontline healthcare workers are relying on him.

08.01.2022 The neglect seen in our aged care homes is a national tragedy. These are our parents and grandparents and the Morrison Governments neglect has failed to care for them and to keep them safe.

07.01.2022 The Black Summer bushfire season is etched in the mind of every single Australian - It scarred us as a nation. A year has past and summer is here again - We remember the heros from last summer and the hardships they face. They had our backs when we needed them most.

07.01.2022 14 days straight - No new cases. Victoria thank you for your brilliant efforts, this is your success.

05.01.2022 This isnt footage from last summer - This is Nine News last night, the 29th of November 2020. Out-of-control bushfires in Northmead, Kenthurst and near Springwood in NSW - I still cant quite believe that Scott Morrison's government have said they wont be supporting a Australian aerial fire fighting fleet when we see footage like this - Either crazy, short sighted or negligent.

05.01.2022 Turkey, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Belgium, Spain and Portugal Austria, The Slovak Republic, Hungary and France. Our RAAF jets have been everywhere They aren't helping stranded Australians, just Mathias Cormann.

03.01.2022 What are you plans this weekend? - No plans? - Be like these two - get out and support our Aussie vineyards, primary producers need our support now more than ever.

02.01.2022 Back in September Labor called on the Morrison Government to use RAAF jets to get stranded Australians home. They’ve since only used them to fly Mathias Cormann around Europe at an hourly cost to taxpayers of more than $4,000 dollars an hour.

01.01.2022 I’m up in Sydney today with Dr Mike Freelander MP who told me I had to come and up and see some of the absolutely amazing Aussie businesses in outer South Western Sydney We need to see more Australian jobs just like the ones at DECO Australia, making exceptional, high quality, innovative products that Australians and the world want - Because we all deserve a future made in Australia.
