Current Issues

In both Calare and on a national scale, the landscape of challenges is ever evolving, presenting a continuous stream of new issues demanding attention. With a commitment to advocacy, strategic alliances, and the formulation of bills and inquiries, I persistently endeavour to amplify the voice of Calare and address pressing concerns.

My aim is to navigate the complexities of contemporary issues, facilitating meaningful dialogue and creating tangible solutions that serve the best interests of the community and the nation as a whole.

Rural Doctor Crisis

Across the Central West and the regions, doctors are leaving the bush and they’re not being replaced.

Our residents deserve nothing less than equality in access to doctors and medical services.

We call on the Australian Government to immediately fix the rural doctor shortage crisis to deliver more doctors to Central Western NSW without delay.

Mudgee MRI Petition

The petition for the MRI machine in Mudgee is a heartfelt call from our community to improve healthcare accessibility. It's about ensuring that families in our region have access to critical diagnostic services without having to travel long distances. We need your support to make this vision a reality; with 10,000 signatures, we can demonstrate the widespread community backing necessary to push for the implementation of the MRI machine in Mudgee.

Keeping Cash Transactions In Australia

I recently introduced the Keeping Cash Transactions in Australia Bill 2024 into parliament to preserve Australians freedom to choose their preferred method of payment.

This Bill addresses widespread concerns within our community about the potential phasing out of cash by banks and institutions.
