1. Our gas, our security, our benefit

Australia doesn’t have a gas supply problem; it has a gas export problem.

Australian gas should not be cheaper in Japan than it is here at home. The market rules weren’t working for Australians - or for a credible transition to net zero.

That’s why I raised reforms to make sure Australians were not left behind by export-first policy settings that favour multinational interests.

One week later, the Government moved to revisit gas market settings.

2. Practical solutions to the housing crisis

I pushed for reforms that let super funds put their capital to work in affordable housing.

Essential workers and young people are being priced out, while billions sit on the sidelines.

Fixing the rules would deliver more affordable homes where they’re actually needed.

3. Strengthened our nature laws

I backed the first major overhaul of nature laws in 25 years, introducing amendments to tackle the impacts of climate change on nature.

Approvals for critical infrastructure are now streamlined, native forest logging lost its exemption, and coal and gas projects can’t be waved through using a “national interest” loophole.

Although it’s not perfect, it’s a solid step forward - the next step is to make sure our national laws better tackle climate impacts.

4. Demanded an end to gambling ads

Gambling ads are harming communities while governments drag their feet.

Australians lose billions each year, and young people are being targeted with inducements that drive bigger bets.

I’ve raised victims’ stories in Parliament, stood alongside them, and voted to ban gambling ads - on which the government sadly refused to allow a conscience vote.

5. Cutting red-tape for small business

I backed raising the instant asset write-off from $20,000 to $50,000 - and am pushing to make it permanent.

This means small businesses can invest in equipment, technology and tools now, without waiting - helping them grow, create jobs, and stay competitive.

It’s a simple, practical step that makes a real difference for local businesses.

6. Pushed for stronger penalties for price-gouging

Families are paying more for the same groceries, forcing tough choices every week.

I’ve lodged a formal submission calling for higher penalties and more ACCC funding - so price-gouging by the supermarket duopoly is effectively prevented and households are protected.

Stronger laws mean families keep more of their money, and everyday essentials stay affordable.

7. Spoken out against cuts to our NDIS

People in Bradfield have told me loud and clear: they’re extremely concerned about the impact of changes to the NDIS.

I’ve taken those concerns to Canberra – particularly around changes to children’s supports. I’ve raised them in Parliament, in submissions, and with the media - to demand clarity, consultation, and protections.

Any NDIS redesign must keep the supports that help our children thrive.

8. Called for urgent action on ending domestic violence

Domestic, family and sexual violence knows no postcode, and its prevalence in Australia is a national tragedy that demands urgent attention. 

I’m pressing the Prime Minister to implement the 21 recommendations from the Rapid Review of Prevention Approaches. I’m meeting with survivors and service providers to make sure their voices are heard in Parliament. 

9. Fought to increase transparency

The Government’s proposed FOI reforms risk hiding decisions from Australians.

I’m opposing those reforms and calling for a comprehensive and independent review - pushing for a culture of openness where transparency is the default, not the exception.

Australians deserve to see what the Government does in our name, and I will continue to use my voice in Canberra to demand this.

10. Secured quotas for Australian content

Streaming has reshaped how we watch TV - but the rules protecting Australian stories hadn’t kept up.

Alongside crossbench colleagues, I pushed for local content quotas on streaming platforms - and the Government has now committed to them.

It’s not yet where it needs to be, but it means more Australian stories on our screens - and I’ll keep pushing for stronger support for our creative industries.
