    In 2005 on the Australian Schoolboys tour of UK and Ireland we were billeted out with families in Limerick. The family I was billeted with: the Murrays. I don't think @ConorMurray_9 or I were thinking we'd go on to face each other in test rugby. Great to catch up after the game.

    What do you think? Play on? 😂 I'd come straight from an early morning game of tennis to celebrate 100 years of Tennis ACT and agreed to do a door stop (not a prearranged interview) in the hallway on the way out of the Press Gallery after a morning radio interview. Great to

    Not only do we basically give our gas away for free, we don’t even keep enough for our own use 🤯 It’s just inconceivable that 🇦🇺 as one of the biggest LNG exporters will now start importing. The major parties have failed us. afr.com/companies/ener…

    Yesterday I had a young man come into my electorate office with a copy of his $83k HECS bill. Despite consistent repayments, the balance isn’t going down. We need major reform to student debt. Now. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

    I remember Aunty Pat Anderson AO and Professor Megan Davis telling me they have gotten through the decades of campaigning by turning every “no” into a “yes”. Let's work together to turn the Coalition’s “no” into Australia’s “yes”.

    All Australians should benefit from Australian resources. It doesn't make any sense that oil and gas companies are getting to walk away with record profits while Australians are left with nothing.

    Something has gone seriously wrong when we have supermarkets, banks and resource companies posting record profits while Australians face a cost-of-living crisis. We need our politicians to have the courage to take on tough debates on tax reform.
