Busy second sitting week 🇦🇺
Met with 🇯🇵 Japanese Ambassador, RFDS, ALGA & ATA — all backing regional Australia.
In Parliament, I held Labor to account on the 3G shutdown & regional speed limit mess. 💚🌾

📉 Productivity down 0.7% — and Labor’s answer? Fund the EDO.
We back the businesses that keep our regions working 💪🌾

🚗💨 Labor’s plan to slash regional speed limits isn’t about safety — it’s about emissions.
The Department’s own consultation admits it: “reduce fuel consumption” and “lower emissions.”
Regional communities deserve respect, not restrictions. 💚

Labor’s latest bill is a six/seven — looks good out of the gates, but finishes nowhere. 🐎

Farmers are true environmentalists, managing half of Australia’s land.
Labor’s “renewables-only” race is destroying habitats & livelihoods.

We need balance, not green tape.

The 3G shutdown has left regional Australians stranded.
Phones drop to SOS. Alarms fail. Farmers cut off.

Labor trusted telcos — and we’re paying the price.
Fix coverage. Fund support. Audit blackspots.

Today we walk to honour every child and family impacted by childhood onset heart disease ❤️
8 babies born every day with CoHD. 4 lives lost each week.
Together we walk to remember, raise awareness, and bring hope. 👣 #CoHD #Mallee

🏍️ Great night at the Mildura Motorcycle Club Season Opening & Awards Dinner — celebrating local legends and the volunteers who keep this proud club thriving.

From world champions to future stars, Mildura truly is the home of champions. 👏

A monster sexually abused their five-year-old daughter 19 times but will serve just six months in jail.
That is not justice — it’s betrayal. I spoke in support of mandatory minimum sentences for distributing child sexual abuse material online. #ProtectOurChildren #Justice

In Kerang, I saw true community spirit 💚

Kerang Neighbourhood House is helping 1,000 locals each month — up from 160 — through food relief, art therapy & care programs.

Their work is a lifeline amid Labor’s cost-of-living crisis. 👏

When you call 000, it’s an emergency. If you can’t connect, lives are at risk. Optus must take responsibility — but in our system, the buck stops with the Minister. Australians deserve answers: what’s been done, what’s next, and where to from here? 🚨 #OptusOutage

Bushfire season is here 🔥 and reliable 000 access saves lives.
After repeated Optus failures, I moved with the Shadow Minister for Communications to have a full inquiry to fix the system and rebuild trust - but Labor voted it down.

Too many in the bush can’t call 📞 Triple Zero – or even family – when it matters most.

Labor talks equity but leaves regional Aussies behind every day. We need change in our comms networks & Triple Zero systems so people can get help when they need it.

Mallee farmers don't want 'mines, lines or turbines' and new mapping will soon show regional Australia will cop 25,000 more wind towers, 45,000km of associated roads, 250 million solar panels, on 406,000Ha farmland & bushland #WindTurbines #RegionalAustralia #regionalaus #auspol

Celebrating #WorldPharmacistsDay! Pharmacists do more than dispense meds—they counsel, collaborate, and enhance care. With new training, they're set to provide even more services in Australia. #WPD2025 #ThinkPharmacyFirst

Farmers in Mallee are united: mines should not take over prime agricultural land. 🌾

The Nationals support mining & farming where there’s a win-win. With @SenatorMcDonald I met farmers worried for their future. If coexistence isn’t real, mining should happen elsewhere.

Farmers are being railroaded with transmission lines 🚜 and wind turbines they don’t want 🌬️. Labor’s message? “Too bad, we’re coming anyway.” Well, we have a different view. 🌾

Labor’s chasing targets it won’t meet ⚡ Power prices up 💸 Emissions flatlined 🌍 Reliability down 🚛 Empty EV chargers in Mildura. Our future deserves better.

Qantas wants to rip pilots & crew out of Mildura. We’re the largest regional airport in Victoria, the most isolated city — and they think we don’t matter? Outrageous. I won’t stand for it. #Mildura #Qantas

Chris Bowen is peddling recycled scare campaigns & outdated research. 🌏
In the 1980s we were told the Maldives & Kiribati would be underwater by now. They’re not — they’ve grown.

Australians deserve affordable, reliable energy — not fearmongering.

It’s RU OK? Day — an opportunity for all of us to pause, connect, and check in with the people around us.
Sometimes just knowing someone genuinely cares can change everything. 💙
