It’s been over 2 years since the late Peta Murphy’s inquiry into online gambling advertising & how it affects problem gamblers. Since then, Australians have lost $60 billion to gambling.

Australians need a government with the will and the courage to protect them from gambling harms.

This week is the final sitting week for 2025.

✔️I’ll be debating & moving an amendment to the Streaming Services Bill, which sets local content requirements for streaming services.

✔️I’ll also move an amendment to the Draught Beer Excise Bill to better recognise local producers.

Stay tuned!

There’s a lot of misinformation being spread and it's communities who pay the price.

We need honest, science-based leadership that brings communities together and delivers a clean, secure energy future.

More than 100 leaders have signed an open letter calling on the Albanese Government to back the COP30 Mutirão roadmap to phase out fossil fuels.

With over 80 nations already on board, Australia must choose: lead with integrity or fall further behind as the world moves on from coal and gas.
November 21, 2025 at 5:31 AM
Regardless of whether Aus co-hosts COP31, we must continue to accelerate the transition to a clean & safe future. That includes phasing out coal & gas, stopping the approval of new fossil fuel projects, & investing in climate adaptation so that communities can cope with the challenges ahead.

The Govt has declared domestic violence a national emergency - now we need an emergency response.

One woman is killed every four days by a current or former partner. That is unacceptable

As world leaders meet at COP30 to strengthen climate ambition, the Liberal Party has announced it will abandon Net Zero.

It’s reckless and out of touch with community.

You can’t claim to accept climate science while walking away from the action it demands.

The Liberal Party’s decision to abandon Australia’s net-zero by 2050 target is reckless and a massive step backwards.

The Govt voted against my amendments to the EPBC Act—missing a crucial opportunity to modernise our environmental laws.

My amendments involved:
* Climate financial risk disclosures
* A duty of care to future generations
* Assessment of cumulative impacts
* Fair appeal rights under enviro orders

The govt’s environment laws ignore the biggest threat to nature - climate change. I’ve proposed several amendments, including requiring climate-related financial & transition risk disclosure as a consideration for all approvals, as well as embedding a duty of care for wellbeing of future generations

Disappointed by the govt’s rushed push to pass a 1,500-page environment bill without proper scrutiny or consultation. This is a key chance to protect nature & embed climate accountability—but the bill falls short.

Great news! The govt will finally introduce local content rules for streaming platforms. This is a huge win for Aussie stories, jobs and our screen industry. Proud to have stood alongside actors, creators and so many others who helped push for this outcome. It’s a great day for Australian stories.
November 4, 2025 at 7:13 AM
The govt promised local content quotas for streamers back in 2019 – but 55,000 Aussie screen industry jobs are still at risk. France, Italy and others have acted. Why hasn’t Australia? Sign the petition to #MakeItAustralian and #SaveAustralianStories

Parli resumes today & here are the bills the govt has put on for debate.

My priority this week is the Environment Protection Reform Bill. It’s essential the Govt allows proper time for considered debate in the House - robust environmental protection requires accountability, transparency & ambition.

Parliament is back this week. I’ll be focusing on the Payday Superannuation Bill and its impact on small business, my amendments to the Administrative Review Tribunal to ensure fairness and efficiency, and supporting crossbench changes to strengthen the Centre for Disease Control Bill.

The govt is yet to release the exposure draft of its EPBC reforms — keeping community in the dark on vital environmental legislation.

Without transparency or consultation, we can’t deliver the strong protections nature needs. Once again, this govt chooses secrecy over integrity.

I welcome the govt’s decision to revise its super tax reforms following crossbench advocacy.

I continue to call on the govt to strengthen the PRRT and pursue broader tax reform — shifting the burden away from personal income earners and onto big polluters.
October 13, 2025 at 5:24 AM
The budget outcome shows that disaster relief cost $5.5b more than expected, while the PRRT delivered $30m less. Natural disasters are costing us more & fossil fuels are contributing less than promised. If the govt is serious about fiscal responsibility, it must stop approving fossil fuel projects.
October 2, 2025 at 2:05 AM
The PM is having a bet each way — strong rhetoric at the UN while still approving projects that put fuel on the fire. A 62–70% target is fence-sitting, not leadership. We need ambition that keeps Australians safe and seizes the economic opportunities that clean energy presents.
October 1, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Today’s ABC report shows fossil fuel interests are spreading misinformation to delay climate action. From fake studies to AI content, the risks to trust and democracy are real. I’ve called for truth in political advertisement for years. We need legislation before the next election.
