ADDRESS TO PARLIAMENT- Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Bill 2024

Mr McCORMACK (Riverina) (11:11): News outlets are presently reporting power outages impacting thousands of residents in Wagga Wagga. And it’s not just at that large inland city in southern New South Wales; it is also Henty, Holbrook, Rand, Culcairn, south of the largest inland city in the state.

ADDRESS TO PARLIAMENT – MATTERS OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE – Economy

Whether it’s households, whether it’s farms, whether it’s factories, whether it’s small businesses, right across society Australians are worse off now than what they were prior to the election in May 2022 with the Albanese government.

No-one knows this better than the member for […]

ADDRESS TO PARLIAMENT – Free TAFE Bill 2024 – Second Reading

He’s a good man, and there were some elements to his speech which I wholeheartedly agree with, like when he said that the government was delivering. […]

ADDRESS TO PARLIAMENT – BILLS – Cyber Security Bill 2024 – Second Reading

If ever we had cause for alarm over cybersecurity, it was just the other day—5 November, in fact—when the Guardian published an article headed ‘Is your air fryer spying on you? Concerns over “excessive” surveillance in smart devices’. The article, penned by UK Technology Editor Robert Booth, said: Air fryers that gather your personal data […]
