The Herald Sun today published a column from me on how the climate change debate has been hijacked by zealots on both sides.
For me, I want to ensure we have an approach that balances the undeniable need to act on climate change while ensuring the needs of industry and the impact on household budgets are not upended. Read the article on my website (link in bio).

With the ongoing strain of lockdowns, it’s never

With the ongoing strain of lockdowns, it’s never been more important to ask people if they’re ok. And, of course, it’s ok to be not ok.
We all continue to face unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, and these challenges can have significant impacts on our mental health.
The conversation about mental health need not be difficult - it is as simple as asking if someone is okay, listening to them, encouraging action and checking back in.
Anyone experiencing distress can seek immediate advice and support through Lifeline (13 11 14), Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800), or the Federal Government’s digital mental health gateway, Head to Health. #ruok

Thanks to the many thousands of people who are getting tested each day in the Goulburn Valley as we continue to battle the current COVID-19 cluster.

More generally, the incredible hard work and generosity of everyone during this difficult time has epitomised the character of residents in this great region and, as a fellow resident and your representative in the Australian Parliament, I could not be prouder of the response.

I won’t individually name all the groups and people at the forefront of the response for there are too many, but a huge thanks to all the health groups and workers, volunteer organisations, local businesses (and some from other parts of the state), local councils, emergency services, and the Australian Defence Force.

We’re certainly not out of the woods yet so I encourage everyone to continue taking measures that minimise the risk to yourself and those closest to you.

The outbreak has again emphasised the need for widespread vaccination as it will not only protect you and your loved ones, but allow us to return to some normality. So please, get the jab 💉
