Great (and unusual) to learn something from an opposition question. Thanks Shane Wright

Today marks the 56th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum. It determined whether two references in the Constitution, that discriminated against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, should be removed.

Yes, polka dots are always in!

Inclined to vote No? Read this. I dare you…

Congratulations Susan Templeman MP on again serving as head of Australia’s delegation to the Second Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons this week. Observing 2MSP is a crucial step towards joining the #nuclearban. foreignminister.gov.au/minister/penny…

Very sorry to learn of the tragic death of a Richmond firefighter in Grose Vale. This will be felt throughout the Hawkesbury and emergency services community.

We’re working with #localgovernment to activate high priority road & community infrastructure projects! 👷🏽‍♀️🔨🧱 Across the Blue Mountains & Hawkesbury region, we’re investing over $460m, thanks to strong advocacy from Susan Templeman MP! This will make a huge difference! ✅ #auspol

Modular homes are a missing part of housing policy - they could especially help in communities like mine that are bushfire and flood prone, for both new builds and rebuilds.

Australia welcomes today’s UN Security Council resolution.

It’s fantastic to see the additional investment in aerial firefighting, which will also help in floods and other natural disasters.

Puli Puli (The Rocks) by Keturah Zimran OAM will light up the walls of Parliament House this week, in honour of National Reconciliation Week. It was a privilege to join my Parliamentary colleagues, and Aunty Violet Sheridan at tonight’s illumination

The NSW redistribution proposal will be released on Friday 14 June (next Friday). It'll be around lunchtime. We will of course post here when it is available. Info on the process thus far is available via the dedicated redistributions website. aec.gov.au/redistribution…

I’m calling this out for what it is: a complete misrepresentation of the facts. As confirmed in Estimates today, the $1.5m referred to in this video relates to a single item used by the ADF - going overseas for manufacture, before subsequently returning to Australia for our use.

This morning I visited Museum of Australian Democracy, where I had a tour of the recently refurbished House of Reps Chamber. I also dropped into a school visit by Comleroy Road Public School from Susan Templeman MP’s electorate of Macquarie. We spoke about democracy and held a quick Question Time.

The alternatives to a two state solution are either a monstrosity or a fantasy. Today’s Knesset resolution would condemn Israelis and Palestinians to an endless cycle of violence.

All parties need to show the leadership necessary to reengage in a peace process aimed at the only practical, enduring resolution to this conflict - a two state solution.

Great to be up in the Blue Mountains today with my friend Susan Templeman MP to meet with some of the students, staff and parents at Blaxland High.

I have to agree with Roger Cook on this one.
